The Harlem Family (Psychoanalytic) Institute
presents
A Public Program Candidates Panel
Spirituality, Social Justice & Psychoanalysis
~ This Friday evening, July 16, at 7 pm ET free Zoom presentation ~
The Institute, which trains tomorrow’s psychoanalysts in its small clinical sites in community centers, schools and houses of worship in Harlem and surrounding neighborhoods, knows the social-justice concerns of these diverse communities. The presentation will explore how training people concerned about such key issues, especially clergy, to become Licensed Psychoanalysts can help address them.
The Institute, with a very social-justice-concerned faculty, trains clergy and others fighting for social justice and is eager to train more. It sees training such people to become Licensed Psychoanalysts to be of paramount importance. The Institute welcomes applications from individuals with an advanced degree in any discipline. Graduates of its Licensure-Qualifying Program may sit the NY State psychoanalysis licensing exam.
Please join us for this July 16 Panel Presentation
