Epistemology and Psychotherapy

Our Mission 

The sole mission of the Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies is to help mental health professionals develop professionally and maintain current knowledge of advances in the field with high quality, conveniently accessible, and affordable continuing education programs in psychology.  As psychologists ourselves, we strive to help other mental health professionals develop new skills and maintain and improve their competence so that they can best serve the public and contribute to their profession.  We are continually updating and refining our continuing education programs to ensure their accuracy and cogency and we strive to keep our topics relevant and exciting for the working professional.  Our online programs offer convenient and affordable access and a variety of learning modalities that allow clinicians from across the globe to engage with materials and discussions to further their knowledge and skills.  To help promote clinical professional development, we also provide means by which many of our courses may be applied to certificates of advanced study.  We currently offer a Certificate of Advanced Study in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and are developing concentrations in other areas as well.

History

As a group of experienced clinicians, educators, and researchers in the field, we were concerned about the lack of excellent and accessible continuing education opportunities in psychology.  We founded the Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies in 1992 to provide quality continuing education in psychology and professional development programs for mental health professionals in conveniently accessible formats, including homestudy.  We sought to give access to professionals from across the globe, to informative, convenient, and affordable means of staying current in their fields and meeting their continuing education needs. 

Topics

We perpetuate the development of scientific and professional scholarship through challenging and innovative programs that provide state-of-the-art information and promote balanced judgment and critical inquiry for mental health professionals.  Our topics and readings include contemporary issues and publications, as well as classics, and many may be taken individually and/or applied to certificates of advanced study.  In this way, clinicians can build upon their graduate education with the latest ideas in the field, as well as build a more solid foundation in specialized areas by returning to classics that they may never have had the opportunity to study earlier.  We thereby provide for the interests of the clinical field’s future, along with its legacy.  

We actively monitor psychology continuing education needs, as defined by local, state, and national professional organizations, as well as by other public service organizations.  Additionally, we conduct needs assessment studies to further sample specific professional needs. 

Faculty and Presenters

All of our presenters are experienced clinicians, experts on their topics, and recognized for their excellence in teaching.  Course descriptions include the presenter’s background and we will be happy to answer any additional questions you may have about a presenter’s expertise.
