FREEPSY OPEN LETTER: THE FREE CLINICS NETWORK

Please read, respond and share!

Dear colleagues,

We are the members of the FREEPSY research project team, based at the University of Essex, UK. 

You are receiving this letter and invitation to answer a few questions because you might be someone who works (or worked) in free or low-cost psychoanalytic clinics. We will use your responses to the questions in the form below to put together a Free Clinics Network, which we hope will be relevant to both patients and psychoanalysts globally, aiming to promote shared practices among clinicians and to widen access to psychoanalytic treatment. Ultimately, our aim is to make visible a rich free psychoanalytic clinics tradition and to build a network of psychoanalysts interested in the social mission of psychoanalysis. 

Please assist us in putting together this Network by answering a set of questions that help us locate and describe your institution and your practices. Please feel free to forward this email and form to other colleagues who work in free or low-cost clinics. 

Please get in touch with us with any questions, thoughts, recommendations, events and free-associations that might help us build the Free Clinics Network or establish contact with psychoanalysts working with individuals and groups who do not usually have access to psychoanalysis. 

Details about how we will use your information are included in the form. 

Thank you for assisting us in building The Free Clinics Network. 

Please add your answers below:
