Aim
The vision of the LCP is to achieve greater emotional health in individuals and society through the provision of psychotherapeutic services.
This course aims to promote high standards of clinical practice. The emphasis is on developing further a capacity to work intensively and in greater depth with patients. The course focuses on intensive work with particularly difficult patients who challenge treatability.
Applications
Are invited from:
- Members of the LCP and from analytic and psychoanalytic psychotherapists from other BPC organisations with a minimum of two years’ post-qualification clinical experience.
- Suitably qualified applicants from non-BPC organisations whose training has included intensive psychotherapy and clinical work as defined by the BPC Guidelines for Acceptance of New Individual Members.
- Qualified child psychotherapists with substantial experience of working with adult patients.
Requirements
- Two supervised 3 x weekly long-term cases (post qualification), with a BPC registered supervisor.
- 3 x weekly personal analysis/psychoanalytic psychotherapy for several years, with a BPC registered analyst/psychoanalytic psychotherapist; or may be required to seek further analysis at the discretion of the Education Committee.

Selection
The course involves two interviews, one of which will be focused on a clinical presentation of a session with a 3 x weekly patient.
Modified Entry Programme
Applicants from non-BPC trainings whose previous training and subsequent experience has not included sufficient intensive psychotherapy and clinical work may be accepted for further training on the Modified Entry Programme, an individually tailored training programme to enable them to acquire the necessary experience that qualifies them to apply for membership of the LCP including BPC registration.
