PhD Psychoanalytic Studies

We offer research supervision in the following fields:

• child development
• conceptual analysis
• creativity
• gender
• group and institutional dynamics
• history of psychoanalysis (including Jungian analysis)
• Jungian thought
• philosophical issues in psychoanalysis
• psychoanalysis and the arts
• psychoanalysis and education
• psychoanalysis and religion
• psychoanalytic methodology in clinical and non-clinical fields, especially politics and sociology
• psychoanalytic theory (eg Freudian, Kleinian, Jungian, object-relations and group theory)
• psychosis
• refugee studies
• trauma and violence

Our graduates go on to a number of different destinations, including further study and training in psychoanalysis, Jungian analysis, or psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Many of our students are already professionals, clinical and non-clinical, so return to their existing fields, either in jobs or further training, and use their time with us to deepen their understanding of their work.

Please note, part-time research study – either full-time or part-time – is also available.
