Psychoanalytic Training
Residency Training Programs
Psychoanalysis
Our psychoanalytic program is approved as a licensure-qualifying program by the N.Y. State Education Department (NYSED) and is accredited by the American Board for the Accreditation of Psychoanalysis (ABAP), the accrediting board for the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis (NAAP), and by the American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC). The Residency program takes four years to complete. The weekly time commitment is minimally equivalent to two and a half days at the Institute, with additional clinical work and reading time. Part-time and non-matriculation schedules can be arranged. In addition to undergoing personal psychoanalytic therapy at least two days a week during training, residents in our psychoanalytic program spend a minimum of 1,500 hours working with clients in individual psychotherapy, receive over 250 hours of multidisciplinary supervision, and accumulate over 100 credits of course work that provides academic support for the clinical work.
Our courses provide up-to-date knowledge of the various schools of contemporary depth psychology. In all courses, where appropriate, an ongoing dialogue takes place between psychological theory and the spiritual dimension. Curriculum offerings contain such courses as "The Symbolic Nature of the Psyche, "Faith, Values and the Psychology of Religious Experience," and "The Use of Dreams in Psychoanalysis."
