A professional community rooted in interpersonal psychoanalysis.

Not a directory. Not only a course. A living professional framework for understanding people, relationships, and therapeutic work.

SIPPI Mumbai is rooted in interpersonal psychoanalysis — a tradition that has shaped many of the foundational ideas of modern Western psychotherapy.

Its concepts — such as transference, resistance, unconscious processes, relational patterns, interpretation, conflict, care, and the therapeutic relationship — are not marginal ideas. They are part of the conceptual foundation through which generations of therapists have learned to understand psychological life and clinical work.

SIPPI uses this tradition as a living framework: not only to study theory, but to help practitioners think more deeply about what happens between people, inside relationships, and within the therapeutic encounter.

SIPPI’s learning framework was developed by Dr. Kopel Eliezer, a social work researcher and independent interpersonal psychoanalyst. It grows out of his long-term teaching and clinical engagement with psychoanalytic thought, including a body of 100 lectures that form the basis of SIPPI’s structured learning path. The aim is not to present one person’s authority as doctrine, but to offer practitioners a coherent, evolving way of thinking with psychoanalytic concepts in clinical work.

SIPPI Mumbai brings together client referrals, continuous psychoanalytic and interpersonal learning, AI-supported professional reflection, live webinars, and a professional community — with gradual opportunities for local responsibility and leadership.

We are early. The immediate goal is simply to bring together the first small group of practitioners in Mumbai.

What practitioners receive

Referrals

SIPPI may introduce suitable clients to you, based on genuine fit — never on who paid the most.

Learning

Progress through a structured 100-lesson SIPPI learning path with Kiran, your personal AI teacher.

Clinical thinking

Access AI-supported tools for professional reflection, including kopelAI where relevant.

Community

Take part in webinars and peer learning, and gradually take on local responsibility inside SIPPI Mumbai.

What SIPPI expects

SIPPI practitioners are independent practitioners. SIPPI does not control their clinical decisions or employ them as staff. In turn, practitioners are expected to:

Maintain confidentiality
Practise ethically and respectfully
Comply with applicable professional and legal requirements
Respond reliably to referrals
Keep availability and capacity updated
Participate in ongoing learning
Engage in supervision and professional development
Contribute to the health of the professional community

Which best describes you?

About SIPPI Credits

Credits are earned, never bought — there is no way to purchase them. They are not money, and they are not lead purchases; SIPPI does not sell referrals. Credits are earned through genuine participation: learning progress, webinar participation, reliable responses to referrals, accurate availability, community contribution, and local responsibility.

How credits relate to referrals

1. Fit first. Anaya first determines who is genuinely suitable for the client, clinically and interpersonally.
2. Then credits. When several practitioners are similarly suitable, credits may influence who receives more opportunities to appear among the recommended options.
3. The client chooses. The client always makes the final choice.

Credits influence opportunity, never suitability. A practitioner who isn’t right for a client is never shown, however many credits they hold. The model is Fit → Credits → Client Choice.
