PPA Senior Membership
The aim of the course is to help colleagues deepen and intensify their clinical work.
It is our intention that the requirements of the course fit comfortably within a pre-existing private practice. The extra work that is required is usually offset by the rewards of increased work satisfaction and the opportunity to meet with and learn about the work of new colleagues.
It is also hoped that course members will benefit from the new teaching arrangements that will make it easier for those attending from further afield.
The next Advanced Clinical Course will start late 2024/early 2025. Anyone wishing to express an interest, please contact Liza Catan, Chair of the PPA Post Qualifying Committee:

The course is taught over five Saturday mornings per term by leading clinicians and will be divided between theory and clinical seminars. Two three times per week cases will be seen in tandem with the teaching. Each case will be supervised fortnightly by a different approved training supervisor.
We anticipate that some of the topics covered will include among others: Contemporary Approaches to Narcissism, Dreams & the Unconscious, Technique: Post- Kleinian, Freudian & Independent approaches, Perverse States of Mind, Interpretation.
The course is for PPA members who wish to become senior members and training analysts on the PPA training.
PPA members who have been qualified for at least three years are invited to apply.
The 2025/2026 Course fees are as follows:
