Sukrut is an institution committed to the promotion of knowledge and practice in psychoanalysis. Incorporated in 2003 to address challenges in mental health, she began to offer training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, supported with intersubjective studies and Group Relations. Professionals trained in Sukrut comfortably connect with the inner world of feelings so as to identify the toxicity that builds in the self and in systems.
