Personal Treatment

Our own self-awareness is crucial to our ability to fully understand the therapeutic process. It is preferable for students to be in personal treatment (i.e., psychodynamic psychotherapy or psychoanalysis) while enrolled in the first year at the Center, and students in years two and three are required to do so.. This requirement may be waived (e.g., for applicants who had a sufficient prior therapy experience) by approval of the directors. The program directors and members of faculty are available to assist in this matter, and a list of sliding fee therapists can be provided.

Individual Supervision

Students in the first year at the Center are encouraged to have supervision. Students in years two and three are required to have weekly individual supervision and are encouraged to see at least two cases in psychodynamic psychotherapy. Supervisors must be selected in consultation with the program director(s). Supervisory fees are additional, but a list of supervisors who offer a reduced fee can be provided.
