Our Mission

The Suffolk Institute for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis offers a comprehensive program in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis reflective of the broad range of schools of analytic theory and technique. Investigating the different approaches from both conceptual and historical perspectives, the program stresses the unifying principles of psychoanalytic process, namely, unconscious processes, transference, countertransference, and resistance, which define it as a therapeutic discipline. It is the aim of the faculty to help the candidates assimilate psychoanalytic theory and integrate those frames of reference which are meaningful to them and compatible with their own personality style.
