Our four-year integrated PhD Psychoanalytic Studies follows the MA Psychoanalytic Studies for year 1 before beginning the PhD study programme within the department in year 2. Our four-year pathway in the Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies for the PhD Psychoanalytic Studies degree provides you with training to develop the research mind-set for PhD studies and our research and teaching is deeply grounded in knowledge deriving from clinical practice, to which our highest standards of academic thinking are then applied. 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.
