The San Diego Psychoanalytic Society & Institute ("SDPSI") announces our two-year Advanced Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program for clinicians who want to acquire expertise in psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy. This training investigates the mind, as viewed from the perspectives of current psychoanalytic theories of normal and pathological development and function. It also explores how the developing individual acquires the capacity to know and care for others, attains a gender identity, develops standards and ideals, and balances working, loving and living throughout the life cycle. This program considers challenges and solutions for offering psychotherapy in the current economic environment.
Individuals who successfully complete this two-year program receive a certificate of graduation in Adult Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. At the completion of this program students have the option of: further training in the treatment of children and adolescents; joining a psychoanalytic psychotherapy study group; applying to the Adult Psychoanalytic Training program.
