Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Training Program (SF-PPTP)

MENTORSHIP AND FEEDBACK

Mentorship

The goal of mentorship is to facilitate professional development by supporting each trainee in pursuing their individual psychoanalytic interests and in connecting with the wide network of psychoanalytically-oriented clinicians at SFCP.  If you enroll in either SF-PPTP or Foundations, you will have the option to be connected with an SFCP Mentor with whom you can meet monthly (or at a frequency of your choosing).

Feedback

You will be given detailed feedback regarding your participation in class and in clinical consultation. This feedback is non-evaluative and confidential, and is intended solely for the purposes of your professional development. We will also ask for your confidential feedback regarding your classes and your clinical consultation, for the purpose of ongoing program development.
