The International Psychoanalytic Summer Institute will take place in Tuscany Italy, one of the most beautiful places on earth. We will be convening in a dream-like hilltop castle from the 13th century (seminars 1-4) or in an enchanting hilltop Tuscan villa (semiars 5-6), both overlooking some of Chianti region’s most beautiful valleys. Only 30 participants or so will be invited to join us each for a week’s stay at a time (seminar itself running from Monday afternoon till Wednesday afternoon). A total of 15 academic hours (spread over 1 full day and 2 half days) will enable participants a deep immersive learning experience together with a one of a kind opportunity for recreation, rest and wellness.
The organizers: The International Summer Institute was founded by The New School for Psychotherapy, a continuing-education academic institute for mental health professional, directed by Dr. Offer Maurer, a clinical psychologist.
