About the course

This programme is designed to provide training as a researcher for suitably qualified and experienced therapists who are seeking to develop their psychodynamic/psychoanalytic or systemic work from a research perspective. They may be in either private practice or working in an organisational setting. The aim of the programme is to is enable programme members, first to become research ‘literate’ and able to understand, use and critically evaluate different kinds of research and then to go on to undertake an original research project of their own. Programme members often use psychoanalytic concepts and processes, for example with established and emerging social science and other kinds of research methods to produce their own innovatory research.
