IPE admits training candidates of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to candidates at the institute. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educa-tional policies, admissions policies, and other institute-administered programs.

The Institute for Psychoanalytic Education is one of the largest psychoanalytic

centers in New York. It offers an outstanding teaching and supervising faculty of more

than 130 psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers, building on a 60-year tradition

of clinical excellence. Candidates and faculty collaborate in a spirit of open inquiry to

explore the complex fields of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, their rich history, and

their many contemporary contributions and unanswered questions.

Founded in 1949 at Downstate Medical Center, the Institute moved to NYU School of

Medicine in 1979, where it became known as NYU Psychoanalytic Institute. In 2010 we

received our charter from New York State, changed our name to IPE, and launched a

new educational era.

* Training & Supervising Analyst (TA), certified by the American Psychoanalytic Associationº Child & Adolescent Supervising Analyst, certified by the American Psychoanalytic Assocation

Our faculty is a dedicated, experienced group of more than 130 psychoanalysts

and academics, with seasoned, senior analysts working alongside younger, recent

graduates. Most faculty members maintain an active private practice, although some

have retired, and others work primarily in teaching or administration. Many faculty

members hold a clinical appointment at NYU School of Medicine. The faculty includes

individuals with a high leadership profile in the profession as well as talented innovators

who are reworking the tools of psychoanalysis.

Faculty membership is administered by the Institute’s Education Committee, which

reports to the Board of Trustees. All supervising faculty must be licensed and registered

to practice in the State of New York and carry private malpractice insurance. Most

teaching faculty members are clinical graduates of a psychoanalytic training

program; some faculty members with outstanding academic credentials but no

clinical psychoanalytic training may teach particular courses in their area of expertise.

Training and Supervising Analysts are certified by the American Psychoanalytic Associa-

tion (“TA’s”). All faculty may provide psychotherapy to candidates in the Psychotherapy

Track.

We believe that psychoanalysis is an essential tool for understanding the human mind. Clinical work

in psychoanalysis requires specific technical skills and an attitude of intellectual and emotional openness

toward the full range of human experience. This is based on a spirit of scientific curiosity about the accumu-

lated and emerging body of psychoanalytic knowledge, combined with an enduring commitment to

patient care.

Our graduates credit psychoanalytic training with making them better all-around clinicians, more ably

equipped to respond to the full dimensions of their patients’ problems. The majority of professionals who train

with us become psychoanalytic practitioners. They may also work in such fields as forensics, psychopharma-

cology, and organizational psychology.

We emphasize a modern conflict model of psychoanalysis, in which ongoing revisions to Freud’s pioneering

discoveries in theory and technique are central. The curriculum includes the study of early as well as

contemporary contributions to the field, paying close attention to their application to varied clinical problems.

IPE’s offices and classrooms are located in the modern, comfortable new office complex of NYU’s

Departments of Adult Psychiatry and Child/Adolescent Psychiatry, One Park Avenue, at 32nd Street. Classes

are held on Saturday mornings and Tuesday evenings, depending on the track. IPE has moved to a digital

library system; the primary research tool is the Psychoanalytic Electronic Publishing Database (PEP), made

available to candidates online for a small subscription fee. Most candidates see training cases in their

private offices and receive supervision in the offices of supervising faculty. LP track candidates see patients

and receive supervision in the Institute’s treatment rooms.

IPE’s clinical education programs are organized under the umbrella of the Licensure

Qualifying Psychoanalytic Training Program, meeting the standards and criteria of New York State

Education Department. We offer three training tracks: PL (post-licensure); LP (licensed psychoana-

lyst); and the Psychotherapy Track. The PL and LP psychoanalytic tracks substantially overlap and

are certificate programs that fulfill the requirements of the Board on Professional Standards of the

American Psychoanalytic Association.

EligibilityApplicants to the psychoanalytic tracks must meet the eligibility requirements of the ApsaA:

PSYCHOANALYTIC TRAINING

*Considerations apply: an M.D. who is working under a psychiatry residency permit in a training program may train at IPE, with

the understanding that IPE offers course work but supervision occurs at the residency facility as part of the residency training.

Doctors of Medicine or of Osteopathic Medicine who have graduated from an accred-

ited medical school or osteopathic medical school, who are in or have completed a

psychiatry residency program.*

Mental health professionals who have completed a doctoral level degree from an

accredited mental health clinical program.

Mental health professionals who have graduated from an accredited mental health

degree program with a clinical master's degree. This must be a degree generally recog-

nized as the highest clinical degree within a specific mental health profession (masters in

social work, in marriage and family therapy, and in psychiatric nursing). These individuals

must also have completed at least two additional post masters’ degree years of didactic

and clinical training including 3000 hours of clinical experience as well as 1) 60 hours post

masters of psychodynamic psychotherapy supervision and 60 hours post masters of

psychodynamically oriented courses and clinical seminars or, 2) a two year organized post

masters psychodynamic psychotherapy program including supervised clinical experience.

10

Applicants apply to a specific track: the PL, LP, or Psychotherapy Track. Eligibility is

determined in part by one’s licensure status – see accompanying chart – and by

the Admissions Committee’s assessment of the applicant’s background, educa-

tion, training, and experience. Individuals with limited exposure to psychodynamic

treatment may be required to enroll in a program of coursework and supervised

casework prior to proceeding with psychoanalytic training (see the Psychotherapy

Track, below). All tracks are taught by Institute faculty with the objective of fostering

a psychodynamic perspective, which underlies all our work.

Post-Licensure Track (PL Track) This is geared toward professionals holding a New York State license that permits

them to offer psychotherapy and psychoanalysis to private patients. This group

includes physicians who are licensed M.D.’s and D.O.’s who have completed or are

completing a psychiatry residency program; licensed psychologists (Ph.D., Psy.D.);

LCSW’s; and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners (N.P.P.’s). Successful candidates earn a

certificate of completion in “Psychoanalysis.”

Licensed Psychoanalyst Track (LP Track)This track is a professional program leading to eligibility to sit for the New York licens-

ing exam in psychoanalysis. As a licensure-qualifying institute, IPE may offer clinical

training to qualified individuals who are not licensed in New York, including:

physicians and psychologists who have trained in other states and countries;

individuals holding a terminal degree (Ph.D., Ed.D. or Masters) in their discipline;

limited permit psychologists; and Masters-level mental health professionals such as

L.M.H.C.’s and L.M.F.C.’s.* Other applicants who meet New York State’s eligibility

requirements for LP training may be considered on a case-by-case basis (see

http://www.op.nysed.gov/prof/mhp/psyanllic.htm). Successful candidates earn a

certificate of completion.

* To the extent that a person holding a limited permit participates in this program, the supervised experience that is gained must

Persons unlicensed in New York, including individuals who hold an MD, DO. or Ph.D awarded in another state or country, must

identify themselves to patients as candidates in the licensure-qualifying program and may not represent themselves with that

title or degree in New York State. Please note that our programs do not qualify for an educational or research visa.

Eligibility for IPE Psychoanalytic Training

Affiliates Program in PsychoanalysisThe Institute offers a four-year Affiliates Program in Psychoanalysis to professionals who

seek non-clinical, academic education in psychoanalysis. Affiliates participate in the

same classes, tutorials and other educational experiences as clinical candidates, but

do not see patients or have supervision. It is highly recommended that Affiliates experi-

ence a personal analysis. Eligibility is limited to individuals with terminal degrees in their

field (Ph.D., M.D., J.D., etc.) or with accomplishments in the arts or other areas.

This academic exposure has appealed to professionals in such fields of developmen-

tal economics, literature, gender studies, and the medical fields of gastroenterology

and neurology. Applicants must demonstrate an abiding interest in integrating a

psychodynamic perspective into their work, and agree that they will not represent

themselves as a psychodynamic clinician. The admission process and the tuition is

the same as in clinical training. Affiliates in Psychoanalysis receive a letter of comple-

tion at the end of the program. For further information contact the Institute office.

sychoanalytic training has three components:

Components of Psychoanalytic Training

P

12

Personal PsychoanalysisOne’s own psychoanalysis is the foundation of training. It increases a candidate’s

sensitivity to the workings of the unconscious which might impede his or her develop-

ment as a psychoanalyst. Psychoanalytic candidates begin analysis with a training

analyst recognized by the APsaA as soon as possible after admission, if they are not

already in treatment. Under certain circumstances, applicants who already are in

analysis with a training analyst from another APsaA training institute may continue with

that analyst while training at IPE. A candidate’s analysis is expected to continue well

into the period of supervised clinical work. Training analyses are conducted at a

frequency of four or five times per week. Fees are arranged privately between the

candidate and his/her training analyst.

Supervised Clinical WorkImmersion in psychoanalytic work unfolds over the first two years of training, at a

pace appropriate for each candidate. Many first year candidates start their first

case, aided by our Psychoanalytic Case Development Supervision program. A

candidate must have a psychoanalytic case to progress to the third year of

training, and two cases to progress to the fourth year. Patients may be drawn from

the candidate’s private practice or from the Institute’s Consultation and Treatment

Service, and are seen four-to-five times per week. Licensed (PL) candidates

conduct the treatment privately, usually in the candidate’s own office, with the

expressed understanding that the case is being supervised. LP candidates arrange

to use IPE’s facilities for treatment and supervision. The Student Progression Advisor

helps candidates select their supervisors for ongoing cases. The supervisory fee is

often based upon the fee that the candidate receives from his/her patient. Candi-

dates work out the patient fee arrangement after obtaining supervision from

faculty on the specifics of each treatment situation.

Training cases are seen a minimum of four times a week, with weekly supervision.

The supervisor submits an annual report to the Student Progression Committee

(SPC) Advisor evaluating the candidate’s psychoanalytic work.

CurriculumThe curriculum - more than 50 seminars - consists of four years of required classes,

taught on Saturday mornings, 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., September through May.

During the first year, and through the first trimester of the second year, there is also

a class on Tuesday evenings, from 8:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., often in the instructor’s

private office. For the first two years following completion of the four-year curricu-

lum, senior candidates attend a monthly continuous case seminar. LP candidates

are required to attend additional senior seminars to complete the educational

requirements for license eligibility. Each course is evaluated by the candidates

who complete it, and the entire curriculum is reviewed periodically by a Curricu-

lum Review Committee of senior faculty.

The course of study reflects our perspective that psychoanalysis is an evolving

theory and practice. Contemporary theory is studied in light of its historical devel-

opment. There is a balance between theoretical and clinical courses. A primary

goal of the curriculum is to help candidates master contemporary psychoanalytic

technique with analyzable patients. In keeping with the widening scope of analy-

sis, we include theoretical and technical courses that address the psychoanalytic

treatment of more disturbed patients. Development courses, including child and

adolescent case material, are integrated into the adult curriculum.

The curriculum consists of five course sequences: Theory; Methodology/Technique;

Development; Continuous Case Seminars; and Scholarly Reading and Writing.

Other important courses are studied from an historical as well as from a contem-

porary perspective: object relations; the analytic understanding of dreams and

their clinical use; enhancing one’s psychoanalytic stance and developing analytic

cases; neurobiology and psychoanalysis; professional ethics; psychoanalytic

research methodology; and the application of psychoanalytic concepts to the

arts and sciences.

The chart on pages 14-15 shows the required courses for the LP and PL tracks.

Unless otherwise indicated, all courses are 10 weeks long. Detailed course

descriptions and representative reading lists may be found on our website.

Candidate Progression and Graduation RequirementsUpon admission to the Institute, each psychoanalytic candidate is assigned a faculty

advisor who is a member of the Student Progression Committee (SPC). The SPC consists of

15 faculty members who meet bi-weekly to review candidate progress and related educa-

tional issues. The SPC Advisor and candidate meet at regular intervals to discuss the

candidate’s progress and concerns. These meetings include reviewing written and oral

feedback by class instructors and case supervisors; discussions by the Student Progression

Committee; and concerns, feedback or questions. Candidates generally remain with the

same SPC Advisor throughout their training, but may request a switch if desired. A candi-

date's analysis is an entirely private matter. The SPC advisor each year will ask only if the

candidate is in analysis.

To progress from one year to the next, the SPC confirms that each candidate has a

satisfactory attendance record in classes; has achieved a satisfactory evaluation from

course instructors and supervisors; has submitted required case write-ups; and has paid all

fees. Candidates must have an ongoing supervised analytic case by the beginning of the

third year of classes, and at least two supervised analytic cases by the beginning of the

fourth year. A candidate who does not meet this timetable may be asked by the SPC to

intermit from classes until he or she has the requisite number of cases. During this leave,

the candidate continues with existing case supervision and is usually assisted by a Psycho-

analytic Case Development (PCD) supervisor. The SPC Advisor continues to receive written

and oral evaluations of the candidate’s case work. A candidate may also be asked to

intermit if the SPC determines that he or she is not integrating theoretical understanding

and psychoanalytic technique into his or her clinical experience.

Eligibility for graduation is based on demonstrated competence to conduct independent

psychoanalytic treatment. A candidate must have experience treating a minimum of

three supervised, non-psychotic patients (both male and female) in four-times-weekly

psychoanalysis. We consider the achievement of psychoanalytic maturity to be evidenced

in: analytic attitude (good clinical judgment capacity for analytic listening, patience,

commitment); self-awareness; interventional skills (effectiveness and flexibility); concep-

tual skills; written reports; and sound supervisory process. A terminated case is not required,

but demonstration of a candidate’s ability to work towards a satisfactory termination is

essential.

17

Discussions about graduation take place between the candidate and his or her SPC Advisor,

who has knowledge of all ongoing supervisory evaluations. The SPC Committee, in direct

consultation with the candidate’s supervisors, votes to graduate a candidate. A recommenda-

tion for graduation by the SPC is forwarded to the Education Committee for a final vote.

If a candidate is not satisfied with a supervisory relationship or disagrees with a progression decision,

he or she begins a discussion with the SPC Advisor. In certain circumstances, a change of supervisor

may be recommended. SPC advisors take a candidate’s concerns to the entire Student Progression

Committee for confidential review. If a candidate feels unheard in this process, he or she may

appeal to the Education Committee’s Student Grievance Committee. If still unresolved, the candi-

date may appeal to the entire Education Committee, which can hear the grievance directly.

18

Tuition, Fees, and Financial Aid

Annual fees vary by track. Personal treatment fees will vary substantially, depending on

the provider and frequency. We make every effort to keep tuition, supervisory fees, and

treatment costs affordable. Interest-free loans are available for some costs.

FOUR YEARS OF COURSES PLUS ADDITIONAL CASE WORK

year candidates. Training case supervisory fees are arranged between the candidate and

supervisor, taking into consideration the often reduced fee of a candidate’s training cases. Most

supervisors peg the supervisory fee to the single-session fee paid by candidate’s patient.

and may increase as a candidate’s successful private practice expands.

19

PSYCHOTHERAPY TRAINING

The two-year Psychotherapy Track is offered to candidates who seek training and experience in

psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy. The program investigates the mind from the perspec-

tive of current psychoanalytic theories of normal and pathological development and function. It

explores how individuals acquire the capacity to know and care for others, attain a gender identity,

develop standards and ideals, and achieve balance in working, loving, and living during the life cycle.

Our focus is adult psychotherapy. We explore the central roles of development, unconscious

processes, and intra-psychic conflict in the formation of personality and psychopathology. The

clinical focus is on how these factors influence the psychotherapeutic process. Licensed psychia-

trists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, psychologists and mental health professionals who complete

the psychotherapy track obtain a certificate of completion.

The course work differs from the psychoanalytic tracks, and course credits may not be transferred to

the psychoanalytic curriculum. Graduates of the Psychotherapy Track are encouraged to continue

in the Psychoanalytic Track following a review; however, admission is not guaranteed.

Note: Total annual costs will vary, depending on a candidate’s timetable for picking up cases and

the cost of one’s personal psychoanalysis. Candidates are required to be in psychoanalysis for the

duration of their classes. The timing of terminating one’s psychoanalysis is a private matter between

the analyst and the candidate. Many candidates continue treatment for at least an additional year,

some continue through graduation. Many candidates graduate in six years; others slow the pace of

training for personal reasons, and remain seniors for several more years.

There are several sources of student loans to help defray costs incurred during training. The

Psychoanalytic Association of New York (PANY), the professional society affiliated with IPE,

provides no-interest loans to psychoanalytic track qualified candidates through its Student Aid

Committee. Another source of interest-free loans is the Candidate Assistance Fund of the

American Psychoanalytic Association. Contact the IPE office for more information.

Components of the Psychotherapy Training

The program emphasizes clinical experience and follows a tripartite model:

Personal Psychotherapy

21

CurriculumClasses take place on Tuesday evenings, 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., from mid-September to late

May. There are three 10-week trimesters, two classes each evening. Most courses involve

assigned reading. Classes are held at IPE’s beautiful new offices at One Park Avenue (at 32nd

Street).

The course of study explores a wide variety of psychopathology. The Technique courses in

particular address the ways in which psychodynamic psychotherapy can affect and modify

pathologic outcomes of development. Case material is presented by seminar participants, and

group discussion makes up a significant component of the learning. The clinical seminars

approach the various phases of treatment -- opening, working through and termination.

IPE PsychotherapyTrack Curriculum

The Psychotherapy Committee assigns one of its members to sit in on classes once each trimester to

assess how they are going and to speak with candidates about whether the class is meeting their

needs. The Coordinator communicates individual candidates’ concerns to the Psychotherapy

Committee and brings messages to the candidates about their progress from the committee. The

Coordinator stays with the class for the two years of the program.

22

Candidate Progression and Graduation Requirements

Candidate progression is determined by the Psychotherapy Committee, which

reviews instructors' written evaluations of candidates each trimester, and

receives written and oral supervisory reports on a semi-annual basis. In order to

complete the training year a candidate must get satisfactory evaluations from

supervisors and instructors. Attendance at a minimum of 80% of classes is a

requirement. The candidate must be involved in personal treatment, have

completed the annual case reports, and paid all IPE tuition and fees. Candi-

dates are nominated for graduation by the Psychotherapy Committee upon

satisfactory completion of all program requirements.

Some candidates are unable to fulfill their case requirements during the

two-year timetable and continue to receive supervision for an additional

period. If supervision and case write-ups are not completed by September 1 of

the new academic year, the senior candidate pays a $250 registration fee.

If a student has a serious grievance about progression, he or she may speak

with the Chair of the Psychotherapy Committee, who will appoint a member of

the Committee to discuss the grievance with the candidate, and then bring it

to the Psychotherapy Committee, if appropriate. If a candidate feels unheard

in this process, he or she may appeal to the IPE Education Committee.

In addition to considerations of licensing and experience, we consider the dimen-

sion of personal suitability. We value personal integrity, maturity, and an abiding

interest in the vicissitudes of human experience and psychological growth; a

capacity for psychological understanding and sensitivity; the ability to listen and

communicate empathically; the desire to make observations non-judgmentally in

an inherently subjective field; and a tolerance for frustration, complexity, and

ambiguity. Psychoanalytic training helps a candidate develop and integrate these

characteristics within him or herself.

We encourage a diverse community of trainees. Admission is granted without

regard to gender, race, creed, sexual orientation, or national origin.

IPE participates in a three-institute initiative to provide optional, advanced

child/adolescent psychoanalytic training to candidates who are enrolled in the

Post-Licensure Adult Psychoanalytic track. Classes are taught jointly with Columbia

University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research, and New York Psycho-

analytic Society & Institute. The two-year curriculum includes didactic instruction in

the theory and technique of child and adolescent psychoanalysis, continuous

case seminars, and supervised psychoanalytic work. This program may be pursued

concurrently with Adult training. The program is coordinated with IPE’s Adult Psycho-

analytic program so that many fundamentals of child training are covered in the

candidate's four years of adult classes.

CHILD AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHOANALYSIS

25

EligibilityAdmission is open to licensed graduates and current candidates of the IPE. Candi-

dates are best prepared to enter the child program after completing two years of

either psychoanalytic track, but applicants may be considered for admission earlier,

depending on their prior professional experience.

Components of TrainingWeekly classes are held on Thursday evenings at New York Psychoanalytic (247 East

82nd Street), in three 11-week trimesters. Each trimester offers a Technique course and

a Continuous Case Seminar. Two instructors teach each course, representing different

institutes in each pairing.

Supervised Clinical Work

Candidates treat a minimum of three cases (pre-latency, latency, and adolescent) in

supervised analyses. IPE candidates in the Adult Training who enter the child program

may, with the approval of the Student Progression committee and the Child Progres-

sion Committee, begin a supervised child or adolescent analytic case at any point

during their adult classes. One child or adolescent case may count towards the

candidate’s graduation in the Adult program.

Graduation RequirementsGraduation requirements from the Child and Adolescent Program are similar to

those in Adult Psychoanalysis: analytic maturity and the capacity for independent

analytic work. This includes having successfully completed the didactic curriculum

and demonstrated analytic competence in clinical work with at least three cases,

as evidenced by supervisors' written evaluations and the candidate's own written

summaries of his or her cases. A terminated case is not required, but at least one

of the candidate's current cases should be headed for satisfactory termination.

CostsAnnual Tuition: $650

Supervisory fees are paid by arrangement.

FELLOWSHIP IN PSYCHOANALYSIS

IPE offers a Fellowship in Psychoanalysis, designed to introduce talented

mental health professionals in all disciplines to a psychoanalytic way of thinking

and working. Fellows meet in a monthly seminar to explore clinically relevant

perspectives to patient care in private and hospital settings. They also participate

in one-on-one monthly mentoring meetings with a practicing analyst. Selection as

an IPE Fellow is considered an academic honor and there is no cost to participate.

The fellowship year extends from September through June.

Eligibility and SuitabilityThe Fellowship is a competitive, rigorous program. Applicants must be involved in

clinical work during the fellowship year. The program is open to psychiatrists and

psychiatry residents; clinical psychologists, psychology interns and externs;

L.C.S.W.’s, and L.M.S.W.’s in a supervised program; L.M.H.C.’s; and Psychiatric Nurse

Practitioners. We are looking for professionals of the highest caliber who will make

the most of this unique opportunity. Fellows are expected to complete assigned

readings each month and to attend all mentor and seminar sessions.

MentoringThe centerpiece of the program is a mentoring relationship with a practicing

analyst. This offers the Fellow an opportunity to delve into topics of particular

interest. Every effort is made to match Fellows with a mentor of similar interests and

location. Each Fellow meets with an analyst-mentor in the analyst’s private office.

Most mentors are located in Manhattan, but mentor assignments also may be

arranged in Brooklyn, Long Island, Westchester, and Northern New Jersey

27

Seminar Fellows attend a monthly reading seminar led by psychoanalyst faculty and senior

candidates. These are held on Monday nights. The Fellowship seminars are

organized as an introduction to psychoanalytic thinking, illustrated by clinical case

material relevant to the kinds of clinical settings encountered by psychiatry

residents, clinical psychologists and psychology interns, clinical social workers, and

others. The diverse backgrounds of the Fellowship group enrich the seminar discus-

sion. In recent years IPE has offered seminar meetings both in Brooklyn and

Manhattan.

Additional benefits

Fellows are encouraged to attend IPE events throughout the year, as well as the

monthly scientific meetings of our affiliated society—Psychoanalytic Association of

New York (PANY). Discounted participation may be arranged at the meetings of the

American Psychoanalytic Association (APsaA). CME credit is available. Alumni of

the Fellowship program are invited to maintain ongoing contact with IPE through

additional educational experiences.

ApplicationApplications are accepted beginning February 1, with the deadline for submission

being June 1st. Early application is strongly encouraged. In recent years we have

been unable to accept all the applicants who have applied; the early qualified

applicant is given priority admission.

You may download an application at our website, then email, fax, or mail your

application with your CV. Applicants will be interviewed by a member of the Fellow-

ship Committee during the spring and early summer.

OUTREACH PROGRAMSPlease see our website for more information: www.psa.med.nyu.edu

Introduction to Theory and Technique in Psychoanalysis and PsychotherapySix-Week Saturday Seminar

IPE has offered this popular introductory seminar for more than a decade. The basic tenets of

theory and practice in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy are explored, including a consider-

ation of the differences between the two. This includes a presentation of a psychoanalytic model

of the mind, a model of development, and a model of technique. The second half of the series

consists of presentation of analytic case material. The seminar is taught by Anne Erreich, Ph.D.,

who was awarded the Edith Sabshin Teaching Award in 2010 by the American Psychoanalytic

Association in recognition of her talent in teaching psychodynamic perspectives to the profes-

sional public. She is joined by Malini Singh, Ph.D.

Prelude to TrainingSaturday morning seminar series to learn more about psychodynamic thinking (includes the

Six-Week Seminar above)

IPE offers this program to meet the needs of psychiatry residents, graduate students, and early career

clinicians interested in learning more about practice and treatment approaches in psychodynamic

psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. The seminars – approximately 16 in number- have a clinical and

practical focus, providing participants with an opportunity to hear and discuss case material. Most

sessions are structured around a key clinical or theoretical concept and may include optional

readings.

The seminars are taught by IPE faculty and advanced training candidates. The program also

includes the option of arranging, at no additional cost, two private mentoring sessions with a

psychodynamic clinician to explore professional options in the fields of psychiatry, psychology,

social work and mental health. This is not a training program and does not entail supervision. CME

credit is available. Successful participants receive a letter of completion.

The presentations change from year to year, and in recent years have included:

EligibilityThis program is designed for graduate or post-graduate level trainees and clinicians of

all levels of experience. You do not need to be licensed, but you must be studying or

practicing in a clinical field.

Application and FeesThe registration form is found on the IPE website. The program costs $450, with $250 due

at registration.

Psychoanalytic Consultation and Treatment ServiceIPE runs a Consultation and Treatment Service (CTS) which offers low-fee psychoanalysis and

psychotherapy to adults, adolescents and children in the New York metropolitan area. The service

receives over 150 applications annually, and is administered by a committee made up of faculty

and candidates. Suitable applicants are referred to candidates in all training tracks. Patients are

seen in candidates’ private offices.

The mission of the committee is to serve both the Institute and the New York City community in

matching the educational needs of IPE candidates with the clinical needs of our patient

applicants. Committee members do an initial triage of patients, usually through telephone

screenings, and then refer them for in-person consultation with candidates. The consulting thera-

pist meets with the applicant for up to three sessions, at no charge, and following discussion with

his or her supervisor, develops a treatment recommendation for psychoanalysis, psychotherapy

preparatory to analysis, or psychotherapy. The CTS committee works closely with the consulting

candidate in the transition from consultation to treatment. The CTS maintains close contact with

the Student Progression Committee, the Case Development Supervisory program, and the

Psychotherapy Committee.

In addition to general administrative clinic functions, the committee is involved in promoting

these clinical services to the New York community. Referrals to the service are welcome from all

sources. Applicants pay a $50 fee, which covers the cost of the consultation phase. Information

and a treatment application may be found at the IPE website, www.med.nyu.edu/psa/treatment.
