Research
At BGSP psychoanalytic research is an integral aspect of our graduate programs. Through researching a topic of interest, students develop their ability to carefully observe phenomena with a psychoanalytic focus while developing critical thinking skills. Research topics range from systematic single or multiple case studies to the examination of psychoanalytic aspects of social or cultural phenomena.
