The School of a Pschychoanalyst Formation

THE PREAMBLE

The School for the (self) Formation of the  Psychoanalyst (SFP) established by this act is another necessary step in the development of our association. This very step symbolizes a move from the school devoted to a psychoanalyst to the one devoted to psychoanalysis. One has to stress that talking about analyzants and about the process of psychoanalysis is not identical with talking about psychoanalysis, yet it is a necessary and initial condition. Talking about psychoanalysis relates directly to the heritage of Freud, significantly enriched by Lacan. Their belief that both the world and a human need psychoanalysis is vital for us and affects our work.

The activities of the School are founded on the ethics of psychoanalysis as developed by Lacan in the 7th Seminar, with its implications for practice of psychoanalysis. This results in the following assumptions:

• A psychoanalyst works with a desire of a subject and not with a sinthome or symptoms.
• A psychoanalyst works upon a demand of a subject which is a source for eliciting a subject’s desire.
• A psychoanalyst does not use in his/her work phrases such as: “a baby, an ego, or I have come” but “a subject emerges”.
• A process of psychoanalysis and presentation of a case focus on modes/ways in which an analyzant presents himself/herself and upon which the psychoanalyst works.
• All both inner and external activities of the School respect the unconscious as a key initiator of a desire of the School members, including a desire of an analyst. Everything that relates to psychoanalysis and the process of psychoanalysis, including members’ psychoanalytical work and a desire of an analyst is being openly disussed and analyzed within the School.

The formation process of a psychoanalyst taking place in the School goes twofold – one participates in a theoretical course (so called the Basic course – 3,5 years) and a clinical one (which is a continuous formation process).

CONTINUOUS LEARING / FORMATION

The formation in the SPF is continuous – all members of the SPF are obliged to continuously develop, inter alia by conducting a seminar at least once a year, participating in symposiums and conferences, working in at least one cartel, participating in open and closed clinical groups.

CERTIFICATES AND TESTIMONIALS

If one obtained the SPF certificate, it means that his or her name is assigned to a selected category on the list (SPF psychoanalysts, a psychoanalyst, or candidate for a psychoanalyst) being published and being updated according to the association policy (available in the SPF main office).

After graduating from the Basic Course a student may receive a certificate of graduation from the Director of the Basic Course (a student must have been attended at least 80% of classes).

MEMBERS AND OBSERVERS

The following members of the Sinthome Association may become a member of the SPF: SPF psychoanalysts, a psychoanalyst, candidate for a psychoanalyst, a member of the Sinthome Association.

Students of the Basic Course who are not members of the Sinthome Association may participate in different courses and meetings.
