THE FREUD LACAN INSTITUTE (FLI)

The Freud Lacan Institute (FLI) is a specialist centre for the study and practice of psychoanalysis, offering academically rigorous programmes that blend the insights of Freud and Lacan with contemporary clinical training. Based in Dublin, the Institute delivers a range of continuing‑studies options—including one‑year and two‑year courses, individual seminars and CPD‑accredited modules—designed for mental‑health professionals, scholars and anyone keen to deepen their understanding of psychoanalytic theory.

A flagship offering is the Certificate in the Foundations of Psychoanalysis, an eight‑week intensive that runs on Thursday evenings and is available both in‑person and online. The Institute’s flagship programme, approved by the Association of Psychotherapy Professionals Ireland (APPI), commences in September 2025 and continues through June 2026, with sessions held one Saturday per month. Limited in‑person places are complemented by a hybrid format, ensuring flexible access while maintaining a close‑knit learning environment.

FLI’s commitment to high‑quality, evidence‑based education makes it a pivotal resource for clinicians, academics and enthusiasts seeking to advance their psychoanalytic expertise.
