Here, In the IIP, the paradox and multiplicity is welcome to give direction to the courses, allied with rigor and impeccable organization. A transcultural, multilingual voyage that opens worlds and perspectives. It's for those who wish to wish, who want to know and want even more. Each class is a (poi)ethical encounter, to cultivate the becoming of a psychoanalyst.

I'm Mohamed EL BAGHDADI, living in Casablanca, Morocco, and a student of the first year of the formation in the International Institute of Psychoanalysis. I'm glad to leave my testimony on the psychoanalysis formation of the IIP. It's a magical moment that started 8 months ago in complete serenity, with a multicultural group filled with human treasures. A beautiful energy thanks to the interventions of psychoanalysts and the effective tools that connect many countries, with no loss despite the distance. All this allows me to leave each class with overflowing knowledge. This formation brought me and always brings me many things I haven't finished discovering. Make a good choice as I did, choose the International Institute of Psychoanalysis.

Hi! My name is Zaíra, I'm a psychologist joining the IIP formation. I got to know the IIP through a supervisor who is also a professor in the Institute, and I was amazed by the inclusion politics, the quality of the professors and the themes approached in the formation. I've been in other schools and institutes and I can say it's the place where I felt the most welcome and heard. I already feel more well prepared for clinical practice and I recommend it to people who, as me, are looking for a space with quality formation.

A dear friend suggested me the IIP formation and for the last seven months I haven't lost a single episode and I appreciate the cohesion - and I'd like to say fraternity - of this community created between more than three continents (...)

Hi! My name is Jamily, I graduated in psychology and fell in love with psychoanalysis during my formation. I was presented to the IIP by Hugo Valente, a professor in the Institute and my supervisor. I love taking part in the Institute and having access to the various themes proposed, to the qualified professors and colleagues from different nationalities and cultures.

When I entered the IIP I knew that the formation would be highly professional and with solid ethical values, but I couldn’t imagine its pertinence, its richness and the joy that would cheer me up when listening to all the professors, within their singularity, their humility and their taste for psychoanalysis, communicating us their research and their passion, to sum: their desire. I learn at each of the courses, I also face difficulties (a formation that flies high), but in general I’m pleased to apprehend a decolonized psychoanalysis, to work, to inform myself, to learn and to unlearn, to relearn and to take the time to digest, while discussing with my formation colleagues. The cultural abundance that emerges is a real source of inspiration. The IIP is a passionate encounter, like meeting a work of art, an artist, a poet, with so many curiosities to discover, to be astonished and marveled. We won't exit the formation the same way we entered, that's for sure. It's a real joy to be able to embrace the opening that this "IIPesque" adventure brings us, and thereby apprehend ourselves differently.

Taking part in the IIP formation has introduced me to a new experience of psychoanalysis. Being among such diverse people and hearing voices that are also heterogeneous, talking about psychoanalysis from their unique trajectories leaves me comfortable to also find space to be diverse and to create my own path throughout psychoanalytic studies and practices. The classes and professors create an environment in which there's space for emptiness and a bit of anxiety that accompanies those who propose to venture into the psychoanalytic (not) knowing, encouraging us but also welcoming us.

The IIP presents a study space open to the rigorous reading of psychoanalytic text, in which the theoretical and practical contributions of professors, implied in this cause, bring about the crucial and present questions of the clinic. This trajectory interests me a lot, for the advancing of a a thought-provoking production. The formation in psychoanalysis, as one of the fundamental pillars of this praxis, among other activities at the Institute, is articulated by providing interaction with students. A place where classes function as a cause, recalling Freud's words when he refers to "a spark", which causes sparks to light up where we pass, without leaving us indifferent when we approach and take these events as a true experience. The IIP is also on social media. I invite readers to follow and check out this precious income.
