About the ATPPP

The ATPPP is a program of the Toronto Psychoanalytic Society (TPS) that is designed to help front-line mental health professionals apply the knowledge and clinical techniques from psychoanalysis to their work with patients and clients.

Psychoanalysis is an intensive form of investigation, theorizing, and psychotherapeutic treatment requiring specialized education and training over many years. This approach to certain forms of mental illness and emotional and behavioural disorders was articulated and organized first by Freud and his followers. The evolution of its findings, theories, and techniques has continued to the present day, informing many contemporary schools of psychodynamic and other psychotherapies. Psychoanalysts are among the most highly trained practitioners in the field of psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy.

The ATPPP is a two-year program in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, with a new class starting every two years. It was inaugurated in 1991 and has graduated over seventy candidates from a wide variety of disciplines, including social workers, psychologists, family doctors, psychiatrists, nurses, lawyers, and clergy. During the rigorous training, candidates develop a sophisticated understanding of the clinical techniques and theoretical complexities of psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and its application to a wide range of patient/client populations.
