Continuing Education Program (CE)

Oregon Psychoanalytic Center offers a variety of classes, courses, and programs, providing clinicians with psychoanalytic/psychodynamic approaches to a wide range of issues seen in clinical practices. We want to inspire your interest in thinking and working psychodynamically. Our goal is to bring you the diversity and plurality of contemporary psychoanalytic thinking, share insights, and enrich our mutual understanding of how best to help our patients. Our programs address the needs of clinicians at all levels of expertise.
