Understand Your Mind.
Transform Your Life.

PORTA Institute is an international educational and clinical platform established to promote psychoanalytic psychotherapy, professional training, supervision and research across the Middle East, the Caucasus and beyond.
Building upon more than a decade of psychoanalytic training and institution-building through the Iranian Centre for Psychoanalysis (IRCP), PORTA provides a legal and organisational framework for international collaboration, teaching and professional development.

The center is based on the principle that training experienced therapists and instructors is not achieved simply through the transfer of theoretical knowledge, but requires the gradual development of a specialized perspective, psychological capacity and the ability to accurately confront the inner world of the client. Therefore, relying on the tradition of object relations and its roots in the Clinician and Post-Clinic, the IRCP has created a space in which the theoretical frameworks of psychoanalysis are combined with guided and living clinical experience.

A science that, rather than focusing on superficial symptoms, focuses on the analysis of the unconscious forces, conflicts, and patterns that shape human experience. The complexity of the structure of the psyche and the impact of early relationships and unresolved conflicts on adult life highlight the need for an approach that can work with these unconscious levels. Therapy that aims to create lasting and lasting change must inevitably move at this depth, allowing for the opportunity for recognition and transformation.
