Dear Colleagues,
Masterson Institute Turkey will explore the foundational works of classical psychoanalysis, the psychoanalytic psychotherapies, and the theory of the Masterson Approach in its 2025–2026 Reading Group Series. You will have the opportunity to hear works that may be difficult to read on your own through the analytic interpretations of our esteemed Masterson Institute members.
Held on the first Monday of each month at 8:00 p.m., these two-hour sessions will give you the opportunity to hear in-depth discussions of the books you have read from experts on the subject and to ask your questions.
You may join the reading group for specific months of your choice or for all months. The book for each month you join will be announced to participants at least one month in advance, and you will come to the sessions having read the book. If you have any questions about the book’s content, you will send them to the relevant Institute moderator one week in advance, so that the instructor leading the reading will already be familiar with your questions while preparing.
Sessions will be held on the scheduled dates from 8:00 to 10:30 p.m. Participation will be interactive.
Sessions will be held online via Zoom. Space is limited.
The registration fee for each session is 1,000 TL + VAT.
The registration fee for the full series of seven sessions is 6,000 TL + VAT.
For registration and detailed information, you can contact our institute by phone or email:
