About Us
The SITE for Contemporary Psychoanalysis is a training organisation and a member of the Council for Psychoanalysis and Jungian Analysis College (CPJA) of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). All graduates are eligible for UKCP registration.
The Site was established in October 1997 by psychotherapists who wished to create a training programme and an association that would foster critical, reflective and imaginative thinking about psychoanalysis and its contemporary practices.
We have approximately 60 members and no more than 30 trainees at any one time (in two separate training groups and joint training weekends) who may participate in the governance structure of the organisation and social activities such as annual winter and summer parties, our own conferences and workshops.
We are a Registered Charity, No. 1084537 and a Company, Limited by Guarantee, No. 03978291.

This will be a hybrid event – online attendance via Zoom – and will be recorded.
Jamieson Webster: Humour, Violence, Repetition: The case of a Young boy and his Mother
While Freud once thought of humour as suffused with jouissance – with sexual and aggressive tension – he later felt that humour was subversive and has the power to challenge the super-ego which fuels jouissance. Of all the unconscious formations, humour is the most social. We always write a joke for somebody.
‘On Giving Up’ – Adam Phillips in conversation with Francesca Joseph
In his new book On Giving Up, acclaimed psychoanalyst Adam Phillips considers both the gaps and the connections between the many ways of giving up, and helps us to address the central question: what must we give up in order to feel more alive? Join psychoanalyst Francesca Joseph as she talks to him about his work on Friday 23 February 2024. Book on Eventbrite.
