The three pillars

Psychoanalysis is based on three essential pillars: personal psychoanalysis, supervision, and theoretical study.

These elements ensure a solid course and will be explored in detail throughout the course.

Personal psychoanalysis

To understand the unconscious of others, it is essential to experience analysis yourself. In the course, we emphasize the importance of self-knowledge and personal analytical experience as a foundation for professional practice.

Supervision

Supervision allows future psychoanalysts to develop their practice with expert guidance. During the course, cases and techniques will be discussed, ensuring greater confidence and a deeper understanding of the practice.

Theoretical Study

The theoretical foundation is essential for understanding the concepts of psychoanalysis. In this course, we will study Freud, Lacan, and other authors, analyzing classic and contemporary texts for a complete course.

These exercises are carefully designed to reinforce the concepts learned in each module and should be completed as an essential part of your study process. The big difference is that all your answers in these exercises are individually commented on by the instructor, offering detailed and personalized feedback to ensure you’re absorbing the knowledge and clarifying any questions you may have.

How support works

Our student support is direct and efficient. If you have any questions during your studies, whether about content, platform access, or administrative issues, simply email [email protected] Our team is ready to help you, and we guarantee a response within 48 hours.

What types of professional validations will I have?

You will receive an international license with a unique registration number from the Therapist International Certification Board (TICB), an endorsement that recognizes mental health programs in more than 40 countries. You will also receive a bilingual diploma (Spanish-English) with an online QR code for verification, ready for the Hague Apostille and accepted by professional associations and liability insurers, facilitating insurance procurement and approval by European, American, and Oceanian regulatory bodies.

What is the methodology of the study?

Yes, a very important point is that your access to the course platform and all study materials is for life! This means that, even after completing the training and receiving your certificates, you can continue accessing the classes and all the content to study and review as many times as you want, whenever you want, with no expiration date. The materials are made available to you as a permanent resource.

Will I have more costs, will I be charged anything extra?

Will I have to do a CBT when I finish my psychoanalysis degree?

You can be sure of that! In our psychoanalysis course, we don’t require the preparation of a CPT (Course Completion Project) in the traditional academic format.
As we mentioned, the only request at the end is a simple essay summarizing the knowledge you have acquired. This essay will be evaluated by our team to verify the consolidation of your learning, but it is a much more straightforward process and nothing compares to the complexity of a CPT.
Additionally, we offer you an interesting opportunity: if you wish and your final essay is deemed relevant, it can be published on our blog. If this happens, we will include your professional contact information along with the text, which can be an excellent way to showcase your early career and your perspective on the topics covered.

Is the psychoanalysis degree recognized?

Yes, training in psychoanalysis is professionally recognized, although the legal status varies from country to country. In most jurisdictions, clinical practice is governed by mental health colleges or associations (psychotherapy, counseling, etc.) that establish requirements for hours, supervision, and codes of ethics. Our 840-hour program meets and exceeds these standards, is registered with the Therapist International Certification Board (TICB), and delivers a bilingual diploma with a unique registration number and verifiable QR code, accepted by insurers and telehealth platforms in more than 40 countries.
Where the law requires a complementary university degree, the certification functions as a postgraduate or specialization, valid for academic recognition, obtaining liability insurance, and registering with private psychoanalytic associations. In territories without specific state regulation (most of Latin America and parts of Europe), demonstrating hours, supervised cases, and affiliation with a recognized organization—exactly what our certification certifies—suffices to open an in-person or online consultation and bill fees legally and ethically.

How do practical classes work for the psychoanalysis program?

Practical classes consist of exercises and experiences in the final modules. They apply theory and analyze cases. Practical classes consist of exercises and experiences in the final modules. They apply theory, analyze simulated cases, and discuss techniques and ethics. The objective is to prepare for the clinic and build confidence. We provide monthly Live sessions for trainees, which are a crucial support at this stage to answer questions, discuss practices, and gain confidence in their performance.

Why does the promotion only pay for registration?

This special promotion, where the $97 fee serves as the registration fee, is a direct result of our “More Psychoanalysts” program. Through this initiative, we can offer scholarships or grants that cover the vast majority of the actual cost of training, making it exceptionally affordable. Our main objective with the “More Psychoanalysts” program is to democratize access to quality psychoanalytic training and encourage more dedicated individuals to pursue professional training and work in the field, meeting the growing market demand. Therefore, this one-time payment guarantees you full access to the course, without any additional costs or monthly payments.

Is access for life?

Yes, we confirm that your access to the course is completely for life! Once registered, your access to the platform and all study materials (such as recorded classes, texts, exercises, etc.) never expires. You can review, study, and review the content as many times as you want, whenever you want, even after completing the training.

The Journey of Self-Knowledge in the Psychoanalysis Course: Transforming Lives Through Freudian Theory

The Psychoanalysis Course represents a gateway to a fascinating universe of understanding the human mind. Developed by Sigmund Freud at the end of the 19th century, psychoanalysis revolutionized our perception of human behavior, establishing foundations for understanding how the unconscious influences our daily actions.

Historical and Theoretical Foundations

When we talk about a Psychoanalysis Course, we refer to an educational process that transcends the simple absorption of concepts. Training in psychoanalysis invites the student to deeply immerse themselves in Freudian and post-Freudian theories, understanding fundamental concepts such as the unconscious, defense mechanisms, transference, and countertransference.

The theoretical development of psychoanalysis went through different historical moments. Initially centered on Freud’s theories, it expanded with contributions from thinkers such as Melanie Klein, Jacques Lacan, Donald Winnicott, and many others. A comprehensive Psychoanalysis Course contemplates these different perspectives, preparing the student for a broad understanding of the field.

The Freudian revolution was not merely theoretical, but epistemological, creating a new paradigm for understanding psychological suffering. Unlike traditional medicine, which sought organic causes for symptoms, Freud proposed a differentiated listening, capable of deciphering the unconscious messages behind neurotic symptoms. A discerning Psychoanalysis Course presents this historical rupture, situating the student in this revolutionary tradition that continues alive and pulsating.

The Structure of a Complete Psychoanalysis Course

A well-structured Psychoanalysis Course is generally divided into modules that address everything from historical foundations to contemporary practical applications. The first contacts with the theory frequently include the study of Freud’s fundamental works, such as “The Interpretation of Dreams” and “Psychopathology of Everyday Life.”

As the student advances in the Psychoanalysis Course, they delve into more complex topics such as the structuring of the psychic apparatus, the phases of psychosexual development, and the manifestations of the unconscious in culture. Parallel to theory, practical training occupies a central place, including case studies, supervisions, and, fundamentally, personal analysis.

Beyond the traditional curriculum, an innovative online Psychoanalysis Course incorporates discussions on contemporary neurosciences and their dialogue with psychoanalysis, questions of gender and sexuality from a psychoanalytic perspective, and the contributions of psychoanalysis to understanding emerging social phenomena, such as the impact of digital technologies on subjective constitution. This openness to contemporary issues evidences the vitality of a theory that, far from stagnating in time, continues to offer valuable tools for thinking about the challenges of the present.

The Triple Psychoanalytic Training

Training in psychoanalysis traditionally relies on what we call the “psychoanalytic tripod”: theoretical study, supervision, and personal analysis. This triad constitutes the heart of any Psychoanalysis Course that aims to train professionals capable of practice.

Theoretical study provides the conceptual framework necessary to understand psychic processes. Supervision offers the space for discussion of the care provided by the analyst in training, under the guidance of an experienced professional. Personal analysis allows the future analyst to experience the psychoanalytic method firsthand, working through their own unconscious issues.

Personal analysis, often the most transformative aspect of a Psychoanalysis Course, constitutes a singular experience that cannot be replaced by any kind of theoretical study. It is through this that the future analyst develops their listening capacity, refines their sensitivity, and acquires familiarity with unconscious dynamics. As Freud used to say, the analyst can only lead their patient as far as their own analysis has allowed them to go.

Contemporary Applications of Psychoanalysis

Although it emerged in the clinical context, psychoanalysis expanded into various fields of knowledge. A contemporary Psychoanalysis Course addresses these multiple applications, which include the analysis of social phenomena, cultural productions, institutions, and group relationships.

From literature to cinema, from education to politics, the conceptual instruments of psychoanalysis allow innovative readings on the most diverse aspects of human experience. The student of a Psychoanalysis Course discovers, thus, that this approach offers much more than a therapeutic technique: it constitutes a true hermeneutics of culture.

In the digital era, psychoanalysis encounters new challenges and possibilities. An updated Psychoanalysis Course addresses issues such as online care, new symptoms related to digital technologies, and transformations in forms of human bonding mediated by virtual platforms. These discussions evidence the capacity of psychoanalytic theory to reinvent itself in the face of new social scenarios, remaining a fundamental reference for understanding contemporary subjectivity.

Frequent Questions about Psychoanalytic Training

Those seeking a Psychoanalysis Course frequently encounter fundamental questions. A common doubt refers to the duration of the Course: there is no predetermined time, as the rhythm of each analyst in training is unique. Generally, a minimum period of four to five years is considered, but many psychoanalysts dedicate their entire lives to perfecting their training.

Another recurring question refers to the necessary prior academic training. Although historically psychoanalysis developed from medicine and later psychology, currently many institutions accept professionals from different areas of knowledge in their training programs, recognizing that psychoanalytic listening benefits from the diversity of knowledge.

There are also questions about the regulation of the profession. Unlike professions such as psychology or medicine, psychoanalysis does not have a single state regulation, being governed by psychoanalytic associations and societies that establish their own training criteria and professional recognition. This particularity makes even more important the judicious choice of a Psychoanalysis Course with recognition in the psychoanalytic community.

Choosing the Right Path

Choosing an appropriate Psychoanalysis Course requires attention to some essential aspects. First, it is important to verify the theoretical foundation of the course, ensuring that it addresses the main currents of psychoanalytic thought. The qualification of the teachers also deserves special attention, prioritizing professionals with solid theoretical training and experience.

Another fundamental aspect is the valuation of personal analysis as an integral part of the Course. A serious Psychoanalysis Course recognizes that it is not possible to become an analyst without going through the process of analysis, exploring one’s own unconscious and working through personal issues that could interfere with listening.

The format of the course – in-person, online, or hybrid – should also be considered. Each modality presents specific advantages and limitations. In-person courses favor more organic exchanges between participants, while online formats can offer greater flexibility and access to geographically distant teachers. A hybrid Psychoanalysis Course can represent an interesting balance, combining intensive in-person meetings with regular remote activities.

The Challenges of Analytic Training

The path to becoming a psychoanalyst is not without obstacles. One of the greatest challenges of a Psychoanalysis Course is the subjective transformation it provokes. Contact with the unconscious – both of patients and one’s own – can awaken significant resistances and anxieties, requiring the analyst in training to be available to review their own certainties and prejudices.

It is also challenging to develop “floating attention,” that peculiar listening that characterizes the psychoanalytic method. Unlike the focused attention typical of other professional contexts, analytic listening requires an openness to the unexpected, capturing not only the manifest content of discourse, but its between-the-lines, slips, and contradictions. A good Psychoanalysis Course offers practical exercises and supervisions that help in developing this fundamental skill.

Professional Perspectives

Completing a Psychoanalysis Course opens various professional possibilities. Besides private practice, the psychoanalyst can work in mental health institutions, schools, companies, and social organizations. Writing and research also constitute fertile fields, allowing contributions to the theoretical development of the discipline.

Regardless of the chosen path, psychoanalytic training represents a continuous process of learning and self-knowledge. The true psychoanalyst never considers their training concluded, remaining constantly open to new knowledge and experiences that enrich their professional practice.

The Psychoanalysis Course transforms not only professional life, but the very way of understanding the world and human relationships. By unveiling the mysteries of the unconscious, it offers a unique perspective on what it means to be human in all its complexity. As Freud said, psychoanalysis does not promise happiness, but the transformation of neurotic suffering into common unhappiness – and in that modest promise perhaps lies its greatest greatness.
