CCP has become a vital hub for the broader psychoanalytic community in Chicago,
sponsoring public lecture series, study groups, and a thriving fellowship program offered to clinicians and graduate students.
Announcements Racial Equity Peer Groups & PanelsIn the autumn of 2024, CCP inaugurated its Building Racial Equity project, a part of its Diversity and Social Justice Initiative. This multi-year project is intended to address and seek remedies for racial inequities in our psychoanalytic work and institutional life. We want to engage in a process of re-imagining psychoanalysis along more inclusive lines by becoming aware of the dynamics of racism embedded in our everyday practices, and by putting into practice recommendations for a more diverse, equal, and inclusive psychoanalysis....

Diversity & Social Justice InitiativeThe Diversity and Social Justice Initiative aims to create space within the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis to reconsider our psychoanalytic understandings of prejudice, discrimination and structural injustice in order to address the inequities in psychoanalytic practice and training programs, both our own and in general. To inaugurate this initiative, we propose launching a multi-year program for the entire CCP membership, so that we can learn, discuss, and implement change together.
