BPSI NORTH

BPSI North is a satellite committee of the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute in Newton Centre, Mass. Founded in 2011, we are a consortium of BPSI-trained clinicians practicing in far flung areas all over New Hampshire and Vermont and headquartered in the Upper Valley region in Hanover, NH. Our group includes clinicians trained at BPSI as well as other APSAA approved psychoanalytic institutes. Connections are maintained to BPSI and the Boston psychoanalytic community through the generous outreach of BPSI faculty who travel to Hanover to give weekend presentations and workshops to our membership. Our invited speakers are treated to an overnight stay at the Norwich Inn in Norwich, Vermont, where a welcoming dinner the evening before the workshop kicks off the weekend. Informal Saturday morning workshops are hosted in members’ homes and include a meet-and-greet over coffee and pastries, a three-hour presentation, and time for discussion and networking. We aim to host four workshops a year, two in the fall and two in the spring, and make CEUs available whenever possible. If you would like to get on the mailing list for BPSI North and be informed of upcoming workshops, or if you have an idea for a workshop presentation, please email BPSI North at Amy Fleischer’s email, included below.
