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.

An introduction to Traumatophilia: Race, Trauma, Transformation
Taking as her case study the controversial sexual fetish of race play, Avgi Saketopoulou questions the psychoanalytic fiction that ghosts of the past can be durably turned into ancestors. She identifies the serious clinical limitations, political dead-ends, and ethical blockages of traumatophobic thinking, and suggests that iterative returns to the site of the traumatic have the potential to re-open trauma, putting its stalled energies back into circulation. For transformation to be possible, however, we need to be working with a notion of psychic life that can be transformed.
