Psychoanalytic Institutes
Center for Existential Studies and Psychotherapy (CESP)
The Center for Existential Studies and Psychotherapy (CESP) is an open, not for profit community of psychotherapists interested in the relationship between existentialism and psychotherapy. Grounded by an awareness of our mortality, existentialism is a powerful approach that focuses on universal aspects of the human condition. These factors include freedom, responsibility, aloneness, guilt, and the search for meaning. These distinctive features of existential thinking can be applied to all types of psychotherapy. CESP was founded in 2014 by Washington, DC based psychotherapists Jane Prelinger, MSW, and Michael Stiers, PhD. The two psychodynamic clinicians shared an interest in existentialism, and were curious about how an existential sensibility could enhance their work with patients. Together, Prelinger and Stiers began to convene groups of therapists interested in exploring existential themes in their clinical work, and lives, using film, literature, poetry, and philosophy.

The New York Institute for Psychoanalytic Self Psychology (NYIPSP) was formed for the purpose of providing a thorough training in the theory and technique of Heinz Kohut and those contemporary theorists who have made significant contribtions to his work. It is our belief that Kohut's contributions constitute an enrichment and expansion of traditional psychoanalysis and cannot be fully learned without a deep respect for an understanding of the Freudian tradition from which self psychology emerged. Therefore, the curriculum includes a study of the significant writings of Freud and the post-Freudians, as well as the works of contemporary theorists, with an emphasis on understanding the distinctions between theories. The major focus of the program, however, is on the study of Kohut's clinical and theoretical contributions with particular emphasis on the experience-near empathic treatment stance.
