Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy |
The Four-Year Program in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy provides a comprehensive and in-depth study of classical psychoanalysis, British and American object relations, self psychology, intersubjectivity, and contemporary relational and interpersonal psychoanalytic approaches to treatment. Courses in theory are complemented by case seminars that focus on the therapeutic techniques of each theoretical approach. Courses are offered on contemporary psychoanalytic topics, including gender and sexuality, perversions, trauma, and dissociative phenomena. Candidates integrate psychoanalytic theory with their clinical practice and increase their self-understanding and professional growth through personal analysis. Many training analysts are available to work with candidates at reduced fees.
