The Community Psychoanalysis Consortium
About
In addition to generating the PINC training track, the founding group also spurred the development of the Community Psychoanalysis Consortium (CPC), a group that meets roughly quarterly. The CPC is a network of practitioners committed to working psychoanalytically within community-based organizations, and some CPT analysts and candidates supporting that work. It has included clinicians from the UCSF Infant-Parent Program at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, California Institute of Integral Studies, Richmond Area Multi Services, Access Institute for Psychological Services, Coalition for Clinical Social Work, WestCoast Children’s Center, Partnerships for Trauma Recovery, Early Childhood Mental Health in Richmond, and Lifelong Medical Care’s Behavioral Health Department in Oakland.
The work of the Community Psychoanalysis Consortium
What We Do
- Cultivate a (thinking) space for mutual recognition and support of psychoanalytic work as it exists inside and outside of institutions and organizations.
- Consider the possibilities and challenges faced working in a range of community settings, cross-pollinating philosophies about mental health, psychoanalysis and mental health service provision.
- Explore role complexities of psychoanalytic candidates in community settings.
- Identify potential future projects for CPT candidate training.
