The most important benefit of becoming a certified psychoanalyst through your training at NPI is the immense amount of knowledge and insight, which will allow you to deepen your work with your patients, providing more effective therapeutic results.
At NPI you are not only gaining important insight and knowledge, you are developing a lifelong support system of colleagues. NPI is a community that will support you in dealing with the challenges that are inevitable in your work as an analyst. Developing relationships with such a group of colleagues provides a greater sense of emotional well being, which will enhance the quality of your practice as well as your personal life. Students find that the generous space to develop has been an unexpected, yet invaluable, part of their involvement at NPI
NPI stands apart from other psychoanalytic institutes because of our multi-theory and open approach to the learning process. Our programs are designed to offer you both the depth and breadth of psychoanalytic theory and technique, while giving each student the opportunity to explore his or her own path as an analyst. In this way we are creating authentic analysts, those who have a real sense of and respect for themselves and the process.
We invite you to join us on a profound journey, one that will provide greater insight into the human experience, transforming not only your patient's lives but your own as well.
