Membership is open to any individual interested in contemporary psychodynamic models of treatment. Our more than 200 members participate in monthly study groups, in-depth training programs, short courses and cutting edge conferences.
ICP+P offers at least four conferences of varying lengths each year. Two are free to members. The others offer members a reduced registration fee. In order to teach across multiple modalities, we distribute papers by the presenter prior to the meeting date, we provide small discussion groups during all-day meetings and we create opportunities to ask questions with the presenter.
Free study groups facilitated by ICP+P members are a central aspect of membership. They provide a great opportunity to grow clinically, and to form and maintain new collegial relationships and friendships.
ICP+P offers three training programs and a fellowship program. Contemporary Approaches to Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (CAPP), the Psychoanalytic Training Program, and the Couples Therapy Training Program are immersive training programs open to all licensed mental health practitioners. ICP+P offers a one-year Fellowship Program for practicing clinicians, residents, interns, and advanced graduate students from mental health fields including psychology, psychiatry, social work, counseling and nursing.
As a nonprofit 501c3 organization, we rely heavily on volunteer effort. The achievements of our committees are deeply satisfying and great friendships and relationships of trust are made through the work.
