Psychoanalysis, the most important intellectual legacy of the twentieth century, is the grandest theory of the psyche ever developed and a powerful method of treating psychological disorders, with wide ranging applications in the arts and the social sciences. Though the discoveries in the field were made in the process of clinical work with patients, recent developments in neurobiology and cognitive science further validate the theories of psychoanalysis.
The Institute of Psychotherapy [IOP] is the only institute in the country that runs courses giving the full flavour of psychoanalysis � the application of psychoanalysis to clinical work, art and literature, society and culture, and even cinema. The clinical track of its graduate programme aims to train psychoanalytic psychotherapists to cater to the mental health needs of the community, whereas the non-clinical track hopes to train people from other walks so that they could carry over the insights of psychoanalysis to their own respective fields. Its psychoanalysis and literature course introduces students to psychoanalysis and its application to the arts. The psychological testing course is also an attempt at filling the gaps in the mental health services.
The courses at IOP are rigorous and the students are expected to handle the selections from the original writings of the psychoanalytic pioneers, papers from peer-reviewed journals, and published clinical case studies. The clinical track students have a very strong component of clinical course work. IOP has been successful in creating a small yet dedicated group of psychoanalytic psychotherapists; while some have started their own psychotherapeutic practice, others have opted for further training in the same field in prestigious universities abroad. Thus, IOP sees itself as both a pioneer and feeder service for serious psychoanalytic studies.
Since Antarnad Foundation sees itself primarily as a psychoanalytic training and services organization, it believes that it can offer the best to its students and its patients by being at the forefront in the field. Hence, IOP has developed a sustainable action plan for engaging in research activities. As a first step, a research series has been included in the graduate programme which would prepare the students for independent research and for doctoral programmes in good universities anywhere in the world. The organizational goal is to develop a culture of research, to create a pool of researchers who could work on psychoanalytic projects taken up by Antarnad, and to have publications in peer-reviewed journals.
