About IAPP
The Irish Association of Psychodynamic Psychotherapists (IAPP) is a community-driven organisation dedicated to advancing the practice of psychodynamic psychotherapy. We support therapists and students alike by offering educational resources, fostering professional connections, and creating opportunities for growth and learning. Through collaboration and mutual support, we strive to strengthen the field, demystify psychodynamic theory, and explore the works of influential thinkers like Sigmund Freud, Donald Winnicott, Carl Jung, and Melanie Klein. By examining their groundbreaking contributions, we aim to deepen understanding of the unconscious, the inner workings of the mind, and the therapeutic relationship, ultimately enriching the practice of psychodynamic psychotherapy.
