| The Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California |
The Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California (PINC) is a vibrant center for comparative psychoanalytic inquiry, research, and training. Since 1989, we have provided licensed mental health professionals the opportunity to study the full scope of psychoanalytic theory and to engage in research and clinical practice. Our training program--based on the tripartite model of course work, supervised analysis, and personal psychoanalysis--leads to a Certificate in Psychoanalysis or a Doctor of Psychology in Psychoanalysis (PsyD).
PINC is widely recognized within local, national, and international communities as a welcoming and intellectually rigorous community. In an atmosphere that encourages creativity and dialogue, we adhere to the highest standards of psychoanalytic training. Our dominant values of interdisciplinary inclusiveness, community collaboration, and participation in the evolution of psychoanalysis are all reflections of the spirit in which PINC was founded. In 2004, we joined the International Psychoanalytical Association as a Provisional Constituent Organization. Candidates, graduates, and members enjoy full membership benefits in IPA. While meeting IPA standards, PINC maintains its unique identity and continues to provide innovative vision at the cutting edge of psychoanalysis. "I've taught at PINC for more than five years. I've been so impressed by the PINC candidates; they are theoretically sophisticated and are familiar with classical, Kleinian and contemporary theory. They are able to use theory comparatively and are interested in its clinical implications. PINC goes out of its way to provide students with a first-rate comparative curriculum. The students embrace this and are a pleasure to teach." Joyce Slochower, PhD | Author: Holding and Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Collisions |
