Continuing Education Opportunities
EDUCATION AT MIP
MIP offers a variety of ways that members and non-members can participate in continuing education. Continuing education is offered to all clinicians, academicians, scholars, and anyone interested in psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, related mental health issues, and the shared human experience.
CE, CME, and CEUs are given to MIP members for their completion of most courses and programs. CE, CME, and CEUs are included in the registration fees for non-members.
Each year, MIP offers the following continuing education opportunities:
Saturday Morning Program Series
Four or five Saturday morning programs with visiting speakers, discussants, and moderators are offered each academic year in the Boston area. Our Amherst division also offers an independent Saturday morning series.
These are guests who present on various psychoanalytic topics of interest to the community. If you have a topic or speaker you would like to suggest please contact the co-chairs of the MIP Program Committee.
Psychoanalytic Dimensions Courses
Psychoanalytic Dimensions courses, are generally six or more hours each, and provide ongoing education to analytic graduates, candidates, fellows, and mental health professionals seeking a forum for analytic thinking in the MIP community and beyond. These courses are organized and facilitated by the Continuing Studies Committee.
All courses offer a deeper immersion into psychoanalytic theory and practice, the latest contemporary ideas, and courses that integrate psychoanalytic thinking with other disciplines or modalities. Continuing professional education credits are offered for our Dimensions courses.
All courses are free to MIP Members with a suggested donation. Non-members can enroll in the courses for a fee. Join our mailing list to be notified of upcoming courses.
