This book examines the learning process of becoming a psychoanalytic practitioner and presents training experiences at the Tavistock Clinic through the lens of both teachers and trainees.

The book describes the relevant history at the Tavistock Clinic and how psychoanalytic knowledge is acquired through a process of learning from experience and the fostering of a culture of enquiry. The contributors also present their interpretations of what is meant by analytic learning and how this is acquired so that a psychoanalytic attitude becomes possible. The book includes a mix of chapters by more experienced clinicians setting out what can be useful in training, balanced by other chapters from more recent trainees who reflect on their development and experience of that training. Other vitally important sections focus on the experience and importance of supervision, and on how to respond to clinical challenges in training and practice, specifically public sector-based trainings.

With rich clinical vignettes and personal reflections on training experiences, this book is key reading for all psychoanalysts and psychotherapists involved or interested in training.

Francesca Hume worked for over 25 years at the Tavistock Clinic where she ran the Adult Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Training (M1) for 14 years. She first trained as a clinical psychologist and is now a Training Analyst of the British Psychoanalytic Society. She supervises and teaches in the UK and abroad. Helen Barker is a psychoanalyst with a background in psychiatry. She has worked at the Tavistock Clinic for 17 years.
