The
Adult Psychotherapy Course is a two-year continuing education program for
mental health professionals who wish to enhance their psychoanalytic
understanding and therapeutic skills in their work with adults.
We offer this two-year course every other year.
Seminars
Classes meet for approximately 32 weeks each year, alternating between
theoretical and clinical seminars.
Both classical and contemporary approaches will be emphasized,
including ego psychology, object relations, self psychology and relational
theories.
In
the first year, the theoretical seminars focus on principles underlying
psychoanalytic psychotherapy, developmental theory, and psychotherapeutic
technique. The clinical
seminars focus on clinical case presentations and discussion.
The
second year of the program includes the study of psychoneuroses, character
disorders, narcissistic disorders, and the borderline and psychotic
conditions, as well as the psychology of women and advanced
psychotherapeutic technique.
Each student will have weekly individual supervision of an ongoing psychotherapy case. Times, locations and payments for supervision will be individually arranged. Supervisors are graduates of the Institute and are members of the Baltimore Washington Society for Psychoanalysis.
This course is presented as an opportunity for continuing education for
professionals who are experienced and currently engaged in practicing
psychotherapy. It is expected
that applicants will have some personal experience of psychoanalytic
psychotherapy or psychoanalysis.
Psychiatrists, social workers, psychologists, and other mental health
professionals are eligible. A
certificate will be awarded to those successfully completing the course.
Eighty percent attendance is required.
