About Us
Trauma Program
A Program For Those Who Want A Specialization in Trauma Treatment

The NIPTI Trauma Program is dedicated to the exploration, understanding, and clinical treatment of traumatic experience and its consequences within a psychoanalytic framework, and to the integration within this framework of other concepts and treatment modalities that may improve our capacity to alleviate human suffering.

"Traumatic experience" refers to the overwhelming consequences of both earlier developmental and adult events, insidious, chronic, or acute, and stemming from a wide variety of human circumstances.

We recognize that the lasting effects of traumatic experience may appear in many clinical forms and may also be experienced by psychoanalysts in the form of burnout, countertransference, and vicarious traumatization. Psychological resilience in the face of traumatic events and the capacity for positive transformation after traumatic experience are also of interest in our program.

With these goals in mind, the NIPTI Trauma Program offers a number of courses; seminars, workshops, and trainings; free evening colloquia; as well as a sliding-fee Trauma & EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Treatment Service for adults that may be useful in treatment of traumatic and related conditions.
