The Insight Library
For Prospective and Practising Clinicians
Continue the Conversation
Professional development means staying curious — about your patients, your colleagues, and your own thinking.
This library brings together a growing collection of resources that have shaped our thinking and continues to inform our teaching. Whether you are a registrar, an experienced practitioner, or simply interested in contemporary psychodynamic psychotherapy, we hope these materials encourage you to keep exploring.

Conversations with Paul Lysaker
A series of conversations with Professor Paul Lysaker exploring recovery, metacognition, psychosis, and contemporary psychodynamic approaches to severe mental illness.
-
Insight Reflections
Brief articles on psychotherapy, supervision, professional identity, ethics, and contemporary mental health practice. Written primarily for practising clinicians, and intended to stimulate discussion rather than provide definitive answers.
-
Selected Publications by Teaching Faculty
Insight faculty contribute actively to the research literature on psychotherapy, supervision, metacognition, and reflective practice. A selection appears below; full publication lists are available on request.

From time to time, we will upload videos of Insight classes. These will provide direct exposure to the Insight learning program.

Insight Annual Retreat
We are delighted to invite you to the first Insight Annual Retreat — a small, in-person gathering of Insight Program participants and guests, held at the stunning Binna Burra Lodge in the World Heritage–listed Lamington National Park, just 90 minutes from Brisbane.

Registrar Pathway
The pathway to endorsement can be difficult to navigate. These are the primary sources, together with a plain-English summary of what is required.
-
Reading and Viewing Library
A working library of texts and recordings drawn on across our programs. It is not exhaustive, and it reflects our own reading rather than a canon.
-
Professional Bodies and Further Training
Psychodynamic and psychoanalytic practice in Australia is supported by a network of professional associations and training bodies. Several offer membership, further training, conferences and continuing education, and are worth knowing about whether or not you pursue formal analytic training.
Invitation
If you are looking for more than a pathway to endorsement — if you are looking for a community committed to thoughtful supervision, scholarship, and lifelong professional development — we would be delighted to welcome you to Insight.
