Psychoanalytic studies and psychodynamic counselling have been research topics and taught programmes in PACE since 1995. The department welcomes applications for PhD research from all suitably qualified students from many backgrounds. This might mean that your previous educational and research background may be in fields such as the arts, film and theatre, literature, history or clinical psychotherapeutic or medical practice.

Current and past research topics involve the relationship between psychotherapy and time, the use of mindfulness in combination with psychodynamic techniques with obsessional patients, the ‘bride in white’, and the contemporary status of Freud’s classical theories. Students may be supervised jointly by a departmental academic and one from a further discipline if the subject requires.

For an informal and exploratory interview with Christopher Hauke please contact Maria Dumas, Postgraduate Coordinator in the PACE Office.
