Training at the Institute

Have you ever wondered what it takes to become a psychoanalyst? To sit behind a couch and analyse someone’s dreams and phantasies, to help her explore her unconscious life? To follow in Freud’s footsteps but in 21st century style? We accompany an aspiring student as he talks to analysts from the Institute of Psychoanalysis about what the training involves, and what life as a modern analyst is actually like.

Directed by Anne Ward and Dan Susman, assisted by Christine Miqueu-Baz, Anne Patterson, Katya Golynkina
