Based on the tri-partite concept of education: analysis, supervisions and a didactic theoretical element of courses and seminars.
Analysis, while a required component of the training process, is strictly outside the boundaries of the training.
Present projects/program
The scientific activities of ALDeP consist of seminars, clinical workshops, conferences and meetings. Internal seminars are reserved for training psychoanalysts. Other seminars and clinical workshops are open to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists interested in psychoanalysis.
Other structures within the Society
Special scientific / clinical / outreach activites
Conferences and lectures oriented towards a wider audience are regularly held. Besides pure psychoanalytical topics, they generally deal with subjects from various fields such as literature and other cultural oriented themes. Moreover, and from a perspective of dialogue, ALDeP inaugurated, in 2016, debates with psychiatrists and therapists of non-analytical approaches.
