Possessing more than 40 years of experience in education and
psychology, Maurice Prout holds membership with the Society for
the Exploration of Psychotherapy Integration (SEPI).
SEPI is an international organization promoting the creation of
psychotherapies that combine theory, clinical practice, and
inquiry. The organization’s quarterly newsletter, The Integrative
Therapist, offers insight and discussion on the integration of
clinical knowledge presented by researchers and practicing
clinicians from all over the world.
In a recent issue, the newsletter published an interview with a
member of the Chinese American Psychoanalytic Alliance
(CAPA). CAPA offers training to mental health professionals in
China, a country where there are currently few qualified experts
in psychodynamic psychotherapy.

3.  The programs designed by CAPA offer a unique
training method. They are presented in a real-time,
online video format, and are taught by professionals
from countries all around the world including the
USA, Israel, Mexico, France, and Germany, among
others.
The basic training course is made up of weekly classes
that span two years, and each installment is attended
by as many as 45 students taught by some of the 400
members of CAPA. It is the alliance’s goal to prepare
these Chinese trainees so that in time they will be
qualified to take over the psychodynamic
psychotherapy education of their own mental health
professionals.
