Admissions Process
Because the practice of psychodynamic psychotherapy requires psychological mindedness, maturity, integrity and personal stability, each applicant will be interviewed by a member of the Admissions Committee. All applicants will be considered without regard to national and ethnic origin, religion, age, gender, marital status, disability or sexual orientation. Personal Therapy
Because self-understanding is essential for therapists, it is strongly recommended that participants in the program will be in, or have previously had, personal psychoanalysis or psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy.

Advisors

Upon successful completion of the program each participant will be awarded a certificate. The progress of students is reviewed by their supervisors, their advisor and the Progression Committee. Supervisors and advisors are available to discuss a student's progress. 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 their patients and to enhance individual skills in psychotherapy. Supervisors are members of The New York Psychoanalytic Institute. Arrangements for supervision will be made between the student and supervisor. Supervision is usually conducted during daytime hours. Each participant is required to have 66 hours of supervision annually, for a total of 132 hours of supervision upon completion of the program. Continuing Education Credits
