Introduction
The Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Program of The New York Psychoanalytic Institute is a two-year intensive training experience that offers mental health professionals an opportunity to enhance their theoretical knowledge and clinical skills in the practice of psychotherapy. Through course work, continuous case conferences, and clinical supervision of patients, the curriculum is designed to impart the valuable and enduring contributions of psychoanalytic thought to psychotherapy. Eligibility Qualified mental health professionals who are currently engaged in the practice of psychotherapy and who have graduate degrees from accredited programs in the fields of clinical social work, clinical psychology, and psychiatry will be considered. Each applicant must be licensed and insured to the standards of his or her discipline. A certificate will be awarded upon satisfactory completion of the program. Supervision Participants in the program meet with two supervisors each week to discuss patients in their own psychotherapy practices. The goals of supervision are to deepen the participants' understanding of the their patients and to enhance individual skills in psychotherapy. Supervisors are members of The New York Psychoanalytic Institute. Arrangements for supervision are made between student and supervisor. Supervision is usually conducted during daytime hours. Curriculum A core series of clinical seminars and courses is designed to assist participants in conceptualizing and expanding their knowledge of psychodynamic psychotherapy. The courses aim to deepen each participant’s understanding of conceptual foundations and clinical methods of psychodynamic psychotherapy, and to encourage a critical and reflective attitude toward clinical work. Courses are given on Thursday evenings beginning in September from 7:30 to 10:00 throughout each thirty-three week academic year. Additional seminars and study groups tailored to particular interests of participants may be made available on an elective basis upon application to the Director of the Psychotherapy Program.
