Such a formation puts into effect the critique of psychoanalytic theory, training and practice initiated by Lacan and sustained today by institutions and Schools which recognise themselves within the field renovated by such a critique.

Taking its theoretical direction from the teachings of Freud and Lacan, the School’s seminar program also affords a serious study and critique of other major historical and contemporary psychoanalytic theorists and influential practitioners in the psychoanalysis of children and adults. In addition, such study includes the contributions made by disciplines pertinent to psychoanalysis, such as linguistics, mathematics, philosophy and literature.

Whilst candidates are generally expected to have recognized qualifications and experience in a clinical field such as that of psychiatry, social work, nursing or psychology, applicants with training or experience in other fields may be considered in certain circumstances.
