Postgraduate Programs Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy

The One-Year Program in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy offers an introduction to psychodynamic principles through the study of classical and contemporary psychoanalytic theory and technique. It provides a sound introduction to psychoanalytic concepts for doctoral-level or master’s-level mental health professionals who wish to obtain supervision on their agency work or private practice cases while they consider making the fuller commitment to training as a psychoanalyst. It also provides the supervision required for New York State licensure as a psychologist during the postgraduate year of clinical experience. The supervision and course work undertaken in the one-year program can be applied to fulfillment of requirements in the four-year program in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.
