Two Year Program
The PAPPTP Two-Year Program builds knowledge and skills in psychoanalytic psychotherapy for licensed clinicians at any stage of development. Studying psychoanalytic concepts and psychodynamic methods with a cohort of colleagues over two years provides an opportunity to learn the contemporary and clinically relevant application of psychoanalytic ideas. This is accomplished through an extensive, integrated curriculum (with courses in Theory, Human Development, and Clinical Technique), individual consultation regarding several of the student’s cases, and individual mentorship.
Benefits include an increased capacity for intensive therapeutic work, new social and professional contacts, and participation in a community of psychoanalytically oriented clinicians.
Class schedule: Thirty-two Fridays per academic year, 8:30 a.m. to 11:50 a.m., from September 29, 2023, to May 2025.
