THE WOMEN’S THERAPY CENTRE INSTITUTE,
established in
1981, offers innovative clinical training based on
contemporary psychoanalytic theory integrated with an
understanding that one’s social location contributes to
the psychic construction of the individual. The WTCI
holds a unique place at the intersection of the
psychoanalytic community, the feminist community, and the
public at large.
The mission of The WTCI is:
• to train psychotherapists in feminist relational
psychotherapy. The Institute offers a
one-year post graduate program in the treatment of eating
and body image problems.
• to articulate a feminist voice and an understanding of
gender in the evolving dialogue of contemporary
psychoanalytic theory. The faculty have published
extensively on feminist psychoanalytic theory and
practice. They have lectured nationally and
internationally and are known to feminist organizations
throughout the world.
• to sponsor educational programs for practitioners and
the general public. The Institute sponsors an
annual lecture series with feminist scholars and
clinicians, workshops and short term groups on issues in
women’s psychology, a biennial Speak-Out, a speakers’
bureau, a psychotherapy referral service, and in-service
training to schools, institutes, hospitals, agencies, and
professional organizations. In March, 2011 the Institute
sponsored Endangered
Species: Preserving the Female Body, which has evolved into
Endangered
Bodies, an
international movement.
