Dr. Paul BrinichPaul Brinich is husband to Evelin, father to two young adults (Paul & Anja), and a psychoanalyst. Born and raised in Cleveland, Paul earned his BA from the University of Detroit and an MA and PhD from the University of Chicago. He did advanced clinical training at the Langley Porter Institute (University of California at San Francisco) and then went on to train as a child and adolescent psychoanalyst at the Hampstead Child-Therapy Clinic (now the Anna Freud Centre) in London, qualifying in 1977. He completed his training in adult psychoanalysis via the UNC-Duke Psychoanalytic Education Program in 2004. He has served on the faculties of the University of California at San Francisco, Case Western Reserve University, Duke University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (where he currently is a Adjunct Clinical Professor in the Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry). He maintains a private practice in child, adolescent, and adult psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in Chapel Hill.

Dr. Brinich has been active in various psychoanalytic organizations in the Triangle area since his family and he moved here in 1990. He has been on the governing committees of the Psychoanalytic Education Center of the Carolinas and both of its joint predecessors, the Psychoanalytic Institute of the Carolinas and the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center. He has served on the board of the Lucy Daniels Center for Early Childhood (1997-2006). He has been elected President of the Association for Child Psychoanalysis (2002-2004) and the North Carolina Psychoanalytic Society (2008-2010). In addition, he is a senior editor for the Psychoanalytic Study of the Child. Dr. Brinich has served on the board of the NCPF on two different occasions, 1995-2003 and 2006-present.

We would like to thank all those who contributed to the walkers of Team NCPF during the Walk For Hope. We contributed to the over $4000 that was raised that weekend and joined over 2000 participants who walked in support of mental health. If you were unable to contribute to Team NCPF prior to the walk, there is still time. You may continue to make contributions to our team by selecting "I want to contribute to a registered walker" and put Team NCPF under the Walker Code. Thank you for helping us make a difference in the community that we live!!
 
This is just one more way NCPF is helping to create a more resilient community! 

Next MindPlay Coming in December

 
Opus - MindPlayThe North Carolina Psychoanalytic Society's  next MindPlay show of the 2009-2010 at PlayMakers Repertory Theater (Chapel Hill, NC) will be The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby by David Edgar from the Novel by Charles Dickens
 
Peter Perault, MD will lead the discussion following both the December 19th show at 8pm and December 20th show at 2pm. 
 
The complete Dickens masterpiece comes to life! In a culture grown tired of the sound bite, we're seeing attention return to great storytelling traditions, and long before new masters such as JK Rowling, there was Charles Dickens, the greatest serial writer of them all. Edgar's adaptation takes us on a thrilling ride, with humor, fantastic turns of fate, and the rich, emotional moments that make up life's astounding journey.
 
For tickets: Single tickets for the 09-10 season on sale now. For more information call the box office at 919-962-7529.
