Society for Social and Critical Psychoanalysis

The Society for Social and Critical Psychoanalysis promotes and fosters psychoanalytic thinking and practice in Cornwall and the SW region.

We have a critical and comparative engagement with traditional and contemporary theories and practices of psychoanalysis and the social, political and philosophical discourses that generate and produce them.

Driven by an engagement with the social field, we make central how the specificities of race, gender, sexual orientation, class and disabilities shape and form the people who come to clinical work.

We have a particular interest in exploring the relevance of psychoanalytic thought to the experience of rural and coastal communities.

The Society offers a programme of workshops, a social and critical introduction to psychoanalysis, a four year UKCP accredited training in psychoanalysis and an affordable psychoanalytic clinic.
