Welcome to the Community Site for Psychodynamic Thinking.
This site is hosted and managed by APPCIOS to promote learning, sharing and collaboration amongst everyone interested in understanding how human beings relate to one another. If you are new to this Site, you may want to know where to go for important information. This page provides a quick guide.
The Site has been designed to offer different spaces to fulfil different requirements. Go here to find out about our private and public rooms, groups and spaces, and what each of them can provide.
Here's a brief video to show you how to access the Site.
Go to the tab marked My Groups for a list of all the groups, spaces and pages you can access.
Go the tab marked Groups to Join for a list of private member groups, private discussion groups and private blogs. If you want to join these you'll need to ask permission by sending an email to the administrator of that group. A series of clicks should get you to an email form. Don't forget to mention the name of the group you're trying to join.
