ELIGIBILITY
Each applicant SF-PPTP must:
- have outpatient clinical experience
- have an established plan that, for at least one of the two years of training, they will be in a professional setting that will allow them to practice open-ended psychoanalytic psychotherapy with adult patients/clients 1-2 times per week
- be practicing either under their own license and professional liability insurance (psychology, marriage and family therapy, social work, nursing, or medicine and carry professional liability insurance), or under the license and professional liability insurance of a supervising clinician or organization with whom they are training
Practicing psychoanalytic psychotherapy with adult patients is strongly encouraged for Foundations students as well, and prospective applicants seeking to complete Foundations in the absence should first consult with Program and Outreach Chair Adam Goldyne, M.D. or Associate Chair Lara Weyland, Ph.D. before applying.
Please see the tab to the left — Determine Whether to Apply to SF-PPTP or Foundations — for guidance in deciding whether SF-PPTP or Foundations would be a better fit for your circumstances.
If your primary clinical work is with children and adolescent patients, please consider applying to SFCP’s Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Training Program (CAPPTP).
