CTPSPG is run by a committee of six to nine Group members, each of whom carries a specific portfolio. The committee is responsible for the management and co-ordination of the Group’s activities, as well as liaison with other psychoanalytic groups and international bodies.

Each member belongs to a reading group which meets monthly. Although the groups choose their own course of reading, this is guided by lists provided by more experienced members.

In addition to the reading groups, there is a monthly meeting of the whole membership. These meetings are intended as an educational forum and a way to maintain and foster contact among members. They take a variety of forms, including symposia, presentation of original papers and discussion of critical theoretical and technical issues. The reading groups take turns to present or organise a presentation to these meetings.

CTPSPG has as members a number of senior psychoanalytic psychotherapists who offer individual supervision for practitioners wanting to practise in the Self framework.

Introductory courses covering basic concepts in Self Psychology are regularly run for new members. In 2006 for example, seminars were run in three blocks of four sessions each, providing an introduction to Kohut and Self Psychology, new developments in Self Psychology and Intersubjectivity.

CTPSPG organises a conference every two years, which is attended by local, national and international delegates. This has helped the Group cement ties with an international community of psychoanalytic psychotherapists.
