Our Institute was created with the purpose of providing genuine and up-to-date psychoanalytic training that is of practical value to healthcare professionals — especially mental health professionals — from every corner of the world. Our aim is to provide practical and accessible tools based on the latest developments in Freudian Psychoanalysis, helping reduce human suffering and, additionally, helping human beings flourish toward the fullness of their capacities and well-being.
We seek to revive the great therapeutic potential of psychoanalysis, which remains largely underutilized and has so far played only a marginal role, even after more than a century of existence, in improving people’s quality of life and health.
Contemporary society, especially Western society, is experiencing a profound existential crisis, and psychic suffering continues to increase despite many technological and economic developments.
Freudian developments, not only as a strategy for alleviating psychic suffering, are now recognized as an extraordinarily powerful tool for helping improve psychosomatic illnesses — something that remains almost entirely unknown in practical terms to most psychoanalysts and to people who work therapeutically with Freudian ideas. Furthermore, psychoanalysis may serve as a guiding light to help society emerge from the era of confusion it is currently experiencing.
We dream of a better world, made possible by human beings becoming healthier and more fulfilled.
For this reason, we seek to make this tool more widely accessible in both its use and its benefits, which are currently available only to a minority of humanity, generally those with greater economic resources.
First, we seek to disseminate and revitalize Freudian Psychoanalysis, which has been almost discarded by mainstream contemporary science, restoring its value and importance.
At the same time, we seek to clarify the great misunderstandings surrounding Freudian Theory — misunderstandings that have been attacked by many cultures and that have led to its poor dissemination and limited practical application. Through our courses, presented in a simple, engaging, clear, and concise — yet profound — way, we aim to present the principal developments of psychoanalysis throughout more than a century of evolution, demonstrate its current usefulness not only for treating psychic suffering but also physical illness, and show its great future potential.
The therapeutic potential of Psychoanalysis transcends the individual psychic sphere and extends into the psychosomatic sphere. Likewise, it transcends the individual dimension and reaches the family, group, and societal levels.
As part of our mission, we seek to help address the great difficulty of obtaining serious psychoanalytic training in most parts of the world — not only because of the limited number of training societies and the high costs involved, but also because of the profound lack of knowledge among psychoanalysts and students of Freud themselves, as well as the great Tower of Babel of differing and often contradictory ideas, contaminated by politics and passing ideologies. In response, we offer a broad, deep, and coherent vision of Freud’s work, designed for practical application and aimed at clarifying most doubts surrounding the controversial areas of this field.
We want psychoanalysts and students of these subjects, upon encountering organized Freudian developments, to rediscover their immense therapeutic potential and the extraordinary therapeutic tool they possess if they reorganize their knowledge in light of these ideas. Although our courses are not directed exclusively toward Freudian psychoanalysts, we believe it is highly beneficial that, before studying this profound integration of Freudian theory and its newer developments — especially in psychosomatics and its potential contribution to the treatment of severe illnesses such as cancer — students have practiced, studied, or at least read Freud’s original work, and ideally have undergone psychoanalysis themselves at some point in their lives. Nevertheless, we also recognize that for many interested professionals, our Institute may become their gateway into Freudian knowledge.
These courses do not replace the professional qualifications required by the laws of each country to become a legally licensed mental health professional authorized to treat psychic or somatic illnesses. However, we believe they will be an extremely useful tool for those who already meet these legal requirements and wish to benefit their patients.
Psychoanalysts and other mental health professionals who apply these revised and organized Freudian concepts through a simple and practical technique will become more active and effective protagonists in relieving the pain and suffering of the world. They will also become driving forces behind human flourishing in its highest forms, within the immense richness and diversity of humanity, where individual differences enrich the whole of humankind.
The possibility for these professionals to finally gain a simple yet highly practical vision will help make their professional practice more joyful, more fulfilling, and at the same time more therapeutically impactful.
Although we offer courses in General Freudian Psychoanalysis, our Institute — created by specialist physicians who are also psychoanalysts and who for many years have applied Freudian knowledge in the treatment of psychosomatic patients — has a particular vocation for the research and dissemination of Psychosomatic Psychoanalysis.
A decade of successful experience treating psychosomatic patients using concepts from Freudian Psychosomatics and Eastern Psychosomatics has allowed us to integrate a broader vision of the human being and of somatic and mental illness, while maintaining the importance and usefulness of classical Freudian Psychoanalysis for the treatment of neurotic patients.
In this way, we contribute to the development of multidisciplinary and more holistic methods for treating all kinds of illnesses, including the most severe conditions such as cancer.
We recognize the lack of knowledge regarding Eastern psychosomatics among most students of the subject. Therefore, we also seek to build small bridges that allow for a faster integration between the best Western understanding of the mind and suffering and its Eastern counterpart, in a spirit of mutual benefit and enrichment, aimed at improving human health and well-being in an era increasingly marked by a desire for expanded consciousness and spirituality — possibly heralding a new era for humanity.
We also seek to promote a simpler and more practical form of psychoanalysis compared to the classical model of four or more sessions per week. Additionally, we aim to present short-term applied psychoanalytic techniques that are powerful and practical tools for helping quickly and effectively resolve life crises, such as severe acute psychosomatic illness — something most psychoanalysts still do not believe to be possible.
We also aim to serve as a permanent space for ongoing updates and for the publication of writings by psychoanalysts and students of Freud who work with similar ideas and who, like us, have found little opportunity to disseminate their perspectives in conventional psychoanalytic journals. Many of these journals remain trapped within publishing structures shaped by ideological and political interests that, in some cases, have moved away from contributing to the development of psychoanalysis as a science.
We expect to be received with a certain degree of skepticism, but also with generosity, because like you, we have explored many paths in search of solutions for ourselves and our patients before arriving here. What we bring is our work, our experience, and our perspective — not a claim to ultimate truth, but rather what we believe are valuable contributions to the continued growth of our shared exploration.
