ISPS-US provides education that promotes the appropriate use of psychotherapy and psychosocial treatments for those experiencing states of mind commonly called “psychosis.” These include approaches and understandings derived from psychoanalysis, cognitive-behavioral, systemic, psychoeducational, occupational, peer support, creative, and related approaches. Our educational offerings also highlight social factors and intersecting systemic injustices related to “psychosis.” We offer live and recorded webinars, and also live-interactive workshops/courses.
Upcoming Educational Events
ISPS-US and the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis are pleased to co-sponsor a monthly clinical consultation group for early career clinicians working psychoanalytically/psychodynamically with individuals diagnosed with psychosis or experiencing extreme states.
Drunk on Too Much Life is an intimate and powerful documentary following the filmmaker's 21-year-old daughter’s mind-opening journey from locked-down psych wards and diagnostic labels towards expansive worlds of creativity, connection and greater meaning.
Upcoming Courses
ISPS-US courses are multi-session series or interactive workshops that provide more in-depth learning experiences to the approaches and perspectives that we promote.
Spring 2025 Course TBA soon
