Scientific Meetings
The monthly Scientific Program, which meets on the second Monday evening of the month, September through May (excepting October),
provides members of the Society, candidates at the Institute and any interested members of the community at large an opportunity to have exposure to new and on-going work in our field.
Often papers-in-progress or recently published work by members of the SFCP group or other prominent national and international figures will be presented and discussed.
Occasionally panels on topics of current interest involving a range of issues from psychoanalytic theory, to clinical work, to a variety of applications of psychoanalytic thinking to other arenas.
Although focused for psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists, all mental professionals and members of the community at large are most welcome to attend.
