To further enrich the learning community of the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis (SFCP), we offer a tuition credit program for any of SFCP’s tuition-based programs to therapists who self-identify as a Person of Color.
The funding is donated to SFCP in memory of Enrico E. Jones, PhD, an African American psychologist and Professor of Psychology at University of California, Berkeley, who did his psychoanalytic training at San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute & Society and was a Faculty member there.
In accordance with a January 2023 ratification vote by all analyst and candidate members (based on majority-supported initiatives in the All-Member Survey on Diversity & Accessibility in Analytic Training – Fall 2022), SFCP is piloting a new Candidate Training Grants for Equity & Diversity Program to help cover costs of analytic training for candidates who identify as a person of color (POC) and candidates with financial need. The goal of the Candidate Training Grant program is to make psychoanalytic training more affordable and accessible to individuals affected by systemic inequities which have previously served as barriers to pursuing analytic training (e.g. race-based or class-based inequities). In recognition of the pervasiveness of systemic inequities, the application process is deliberately focused on the applicant’s self-identification and personal goals rather than ‘assessment questions’.
In accordance with the January 2023 ratification vote by all analyst and candidate members (based on majority-supported initiatives in the All-Member Survey on Diversity & Accessibility in Analytic Training – Fall 2022), SFCP is piloting an Affordable Training Analysis and Supervision Program for Equity and Diversity to lower costs of analytic training for BIPOC candidates and candidates with financial need. The goal is to make psychoanalytic training more affordable and accessible to individuals affected by systemic inequities which have previously served as barriers to pursuing analytic training (e.g. race-based or class-based inequities). In recognition of the pervasiveness of systemic inequities, candidates self-identify as eligible.Â
