ADDITIONAL POST-SF-PPTP OPTIONS
Ongoing Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Conference (OPPC)
The SF-PPTP Ongoing Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Conference (OPPC) has now been moved to an all-Zoom format to make it easier for students and faculty to participate in an ongoing way. If you have completed at least 2 years of SF-PPTP classes, please consider enrolling for 2024-25 via this OPPC Enrollment Form. Enrollment in OPPC will be first-come-first-served, up to a maximum of 12 trainees, so if you are interested please enroll as soon as possible to hold a spot.
FORMAT
The OPPC will consist of four 9-week case / theory conferences, each with a different instructor: Abby Wolfson, PhD; Steven Goldberg, MD; Peter Goldberg, PhD; Amy Glick, PhD.
Each case / theory conference will begin with a group member presenting clinical material and the conference leader facilitating the group’s discussion of the case. Over time, the group and conference leader will select readings that relate to issues raised in case discussion. The leader will then guide the group in studying the readings and relating them back to the case material. The goal is to deepen and extend the theoretical understanding and clinical skills which you started to establish during SF-PPTP, and to provide a group environment for continued, supportive learning.
2024-25 CASE / THEORY CONFERENCE SCHEDULE

ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS
The purpose of this Conference is ongoing analytic education, engagement, and community for those who have completed two years of SF-PPTP coursework (graduation from SF-PPTP is not a prerequisite). However, because it is not a formal SF-PPTP ‘third year,’ there will be no supervision requirement and no feedback to group members. Feedback to instructors at the end of each theory / case conference will continue to be part of this program.
