Study Meetings

A Open Forum for Psychoanalytic Dialogue

IJP Study Meetings are a dedicated forum for discussing recently published papers from our journal. Three times a year, we host two-hour long sessions, held remotely via Zoom, where clinicians and subscribers alike can engage deeply with contemporary psychoanalytic research. Each session features a presentation by the paper’s author, followed by discussion with two esteemed psychoanalysts from the international community, ensuring diverse perspectives and rich dialogue.

The IJP is now charging a small fee of £5.99 for subscribers to attend the IJP Study Meetings. Registration will no longer take place through Pads, but through the British Psychoanalytic Society page.
