The Oklahoma Society for Psychoanalytic Studies (OSPS) is a Local Chapter of Division 39 (the Division of Psychoanalysis) of the American Psychological Association. The society developed out of a local interest in psychoanalytic theory and its application to both treatment and other fields such as literature, film, art, and popular culture. OSPS was founded in 1989 with the mission of educating the community about psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic ideas.

 

From September through May we offer monthly programs and sometimes day-long seminars. The programs have historically been presented by local, national, and international speakers and are offered free or at very reasonable fees. In addition, in-depth courses have been taught by local professionals to help clinicians improve their understanding and skill in applying psychoanalytic principles in treatment. We encourage those who are unfamiliar with psychoanalytic theory as well as those who are familiar or well-versed in it to attend and join.

 

OSPS is a non-profit organization that is primarily supported by membership dues. Membership is welcomed at both Regular (licensed Professional) and Associate levels.


OSPS is offering a one year course in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from September 4, 2009 through May 28, 2010.  For more information, please contact Joe Couch, Ph.D. at (405) 840-9130 or feel free to look at the brochure below.
