NCSPP offers a rich array of learning opportunities for members and the greater public. The Education Committee provides single-day and multi-day programming that represents the intellectual diversity of contemporary psychoanalytic psychotherapy, the diversity of therapists and patients, and the expansion of psychoanalytic theory and practice. Our courses and workshops take place on Zoom as well as in San Francisco, the East Bay, and the North Bay. Courses meet the continuing education credit requirements for LCSWs and MFTs through CAMFT (Provider #57020) and psychologists through Division 39 of the American Psychological Association.

If you are interested in teaching a class or workshop, please complete the following form and/or attach a document that includes the listed items. Note that we are asking for your ideal vision of the course. We take many factors into consideration when considering proposals and may return to you to for further development and collaboration to ensure successful, timely offerings.

The committee welcomes proposals year round. We do a final review of all submissions and approve them for the following year. Once proposals have been reviewed, you will hear back from the committee chair in December. If you have questions or concerns, please contact the Education Chair.

We are especially eager to receive proposals that take an intersectional sociocultural perspective. We invite courses on topics that are necessary for CEs such as supervision and suicide assessment, and topics that are relevant to the realities of working in the current sociopoligical/climate situation. Finally, please submit topics of passionate interest to you!

*Please note that instructors whose proposals are accepted and are not already NCSPP members will be asked to become a member of NCSPP prior to teaching their courses.
