LCP/Essex MA
in Psychoanalytic Social Observation

The study for this one-year MA takes place one day a week at the Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies at Essex University, alongside other students from Essex University and elsewhere.

It includes the study of Psychoanalytic Methodology, and the Psychoanalysis of Groups and Organisations. It also involves carrying out a psychoanalytic social observation in a group or organisational setting.

This course thus has a footing in both theory and ideas, and in direct psychoanalytic observation - enabling clinicians to expand their understanding outside the consulting room to broader social situations, and feeding back strongly into clinical work with individuals.

Applications can be made on-line at www.essex.ac.uk/centres/psycho.
