🎓 Curious about studying psychology from a psychoanalytic perspective?

Join us for a special online Mini Lecture hosted by IPU Berlin and discover how psychoanalytic thinking can help us understand both individuals and organisations.

📅 Online Mini Lecture with Prof. Christian Sell & Dragan Šimičević

In two inspiring 15-minute talks, you'll get a glimpse into the fascinating world of psychoanalysis, leadership, and organisational dynamics.

🔹 Prof. Christian Sell
*The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Unconscious: A Very Brief Introduction to a Controversial Idea*

What is the unconscious, and why does it continue to shape psychological thinking and practice today?

🔹 Dragan Šimičević
*Navigating the Dynamics: Transference and Countertransference in Leadership*

How do unconscious dynamics influence leadership, relationships, and organisational life?

Following the lectures, there will be a Q&A session where you can ask questions about the presentations, studying psychology at IPU Berlin, and our Master's programmes:

✨ MA Psychology with a Clinical Focus
✨ MA Psychology Focusing on Organisation
✨ MA Leadership und Beratung (Leadership and Consulting)

Whether you're considering a Master's degree or simply interested in psychoanalytic perspectives on people, leadership, and organisations, we would love to welcome you.

Very grateful for this inspiring weekend. ✨ IPU Berlin

I had the opportunity to give two mini lectures:
— at the International Career Day on the work of organisational psychologists and the unconscious in organisations
— and at the IPU Open Days on transference and countertransference in leadership.

As much as I enjoyed speaking about psychoanalysis and organisations, I loved the conversations afterwards even more — the curiosity, reflections, discussions, and thoughtful feedback messages and emails I received.

These exchanges are incredibly rewarding. Thankful for everyone who joined, listened, questioned, and shared their thoughts.
