I want to begin with this: NCSPP is almost entirely run by volunteers — psychologists, psychotherapists, social workers, and students who are dedicated to psychoanalytic education. These volunteers put hours (in some cases, many, many hours) of work into putting on our programs. It is the dedication of our board and committee members that allows such a variety of topics, formats, and theoretical points of view to flourish and grow.
Between the fall of 2011 and the spring of 2012, NCSPP put on three successful all-day events, three separate yearlong intensive study groups, nine courses, two scientific meetings, two salons, two movie nights, four student case presentations, and at least four social events. We published a monthly electronic newsletter and a bi-annual print journal. We gave two awards: one for a Student Paper and one for Community Service.

The San Francisco and East Bay Intensive Study Groups, which were focused on Contemporary Relational Theory; and the South Bay Intensive Study Group, which focused on Desire.
Our Annual Event focused on Body Modification, which featured Alessandra Lemma, with discussants Rob Tyminski and Mary Brady.
The Annual Couple's Therapy Event with Christopher Clulow, who spoke on Sexual Intimacy in Couples, in collaboration with the Bay Area Couple Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Group (BACPPG).
Our first Community Mental Health Event, at which Neil Altman spoke, in collaboration with Access and PINC.
