NYU Psychoanalytic Institute's Psychoanalytic Training Programs
are designed for psychiatrists, psychiatry residents, clinical psychologists
and clinically advanced certified social workers who seek greater
expertise in treating people whose psychological conflicts interfere
with their ability to find satisfaction in working, loving and living.
Professional Background Personal Suitability Application Process Applicants will be notified of the decision of the Admissions Committee
as soon as possible after the completion of the interview process.
At the time of matriculation, each candidate contracts not to conduct
psychoanalytic treatment or to represent himself/herself as a practitioner
of psychoanalysis until authorized by the Institute to do so. Academic Associate Program in Adult Psychoanalysis NYU Psychoanalytic Institute offers academic training in psychoanalysis to researchers, scholars and educators. The purpose of this program is to stimulate the interchange of ideas between clinical psychoanalysts and scholars from other disciplines. Non-clinical education in psychoanalysis should be relevant to the prospective academic associate's own professional activities, and it is hoped that he or she, in turn, will be able to contribute to the field of psychoanalysis.The non-clinical program is designed for researchers, scholars, academics and professionals such as attorneys, clergy, or others in education, for whom a general understanding of psychoanalytic theory and principles would be useful to their primary field of work, but for whom clinical analytic experience is not necessary. Research candidates participate in the same classes, tutorials and other educational experiences as clinical candidates, with the exception of supervised psychoanalytic treatments. Personal analysis for research candidates is highly recommended. Admission to the Academic Associate Program in Psychoanalysis requires a completed application with personal and academic references, personal interviews with members of the Admissions Committee, and approval by the Education Committee. Tuition is the same as for clinical candidates. For further information about this program, contact the Institute office. The Institute also occasionally admits for full clinical training scholar-researchers, educators, and administrators with doctoral degrees in social or medical sciences, and other selected professionals. It is hoped that special clinical applicants, upon completion of full psychoanalytic training, will enrich their original fields as well as psychoanalysis. Special clinical applicants will need a waiver from the American Psychoanalytic Association for full clinical training. A waiver of the usual requirements for applicants selected by NYU Psychoanalytic Institute may be granted by the committee on Preparedness and Progress of the American Psychoanalytic Association. Beginning full clinical training would be contingent upon the Institute receiving such a waiver. Applicants whose background in clinical work is not adequate may be required to supplement their preparation prior to undertaking the clinical task of psychoanalytic work. Because of the complexity of some applicants' circumstances, some questions can only be answered on an individual basis. Inquiries are welcomed and encouraged. Candidates usually begin the first year of classes in the September
following admission, although some candidates may attend a "pre-class"
year while beginning their
personal psychoanalysis and obtaining more clinical experience. Following admission, candidates who have not already begun a personal
psychoanalysis are strongly encouraged to do so as soon as possible.
This serves to increase the sensitivity of the candidate to the
workings of unconscious forces through personal experience in psychoanalysis,
and begins the process of diminishing personality factors which
might impede a candidate's optimal development as a psychoanalyst.
Candidates who are not already in analysis consult with the Education
Committee Chair for referral to a training analyst on the faculty
of the Institute. Under certain circumstances, applicants who
have already begun an analysis with a training analyst from another
training institute accredited by the American Psychoanalytic Association
may continue with that analyst while training at NYU Psychoanalytic
Institute. Didactic
Seminars For an overview of the curriculum and descriptions of the individual courses, click here. A crucial feature of the training experience is immersion in psychoanalytic work. Candidates begin their first analytic case as early as the first year of classes. Supervised patients are seen four-to-five times per week. Patients may be developed from the candidate's private practice or from the Institute's Consultation and Treatment Service. Treatment is conducted privately, usually in the candidate's own office, with the understanding that it is being done under the auspices of the Institute. Fees are arranged privately between the candidate and the patient. The Student Progression Committee (SPC) assists candidates in obtaining a supervising analyst for each case. Candidates may change supervisors at any time with the approval of the SPC. Candidates work with a minimum of three supervised patients, at least one male and one female. Demonstration of the capacity to develop a psychoanalytic process is required for graduation. Graduation from the Institute is based on a candidate's achievement of analytic maturity and the capacity for independent analytic work. This includes the successful completion of four years of classes and the demonstration of analytic competence in supervised and unsupervised clinical work, 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 demonstration of the candidate's ability to work towards a satisfactory termination is essential. Psychoanalytic education can be a lengthy and expensive undertaking, a significant sacrifice for candidates who may already be burdened by debt from medical school or graduate studies. We are sensitive to these considerations and we have kept tuition and other expenses as low as possible. Tuition and FeesFees for a candidate's personal analysis are established in accordance with the candidate's financial situation. Supervisory fees are arranged between candidate and supervisor, taking into consideration the often reduced fee of training cases. Application Fee: $100 (applied to first year tuition)Refunds: The annual tuition is subject to a refund, on a prorated basis, to students withdrawing within four weeks after the start of a trimester. Financial Aid 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 NYU Psychoanalytic Institute, provides no-interest loans to qualified candidates through its Student Aid Committee. Another source of interest-free loans to eligible candidates is the Liddle and Hymowitz Fund, administered by the American Psychoanalytic Association.
