Two-Year Program in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
Beginning with the academic year 2010-11, CCP will inaugurate a two-year certificate program in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Training Program can be undertaken on its own or as a transition to formal analytic training at CCP. Its aim is to provide a program of study in psychoanalytic theory and therapy for interested individuals who would like to deepen their knowledge of the field.
The program will have two tracks: a clinical track; and an academic track for those who wish to strengthen their backgrounds in psychoanalytic theory but who are not practicing clinicians. Students in the academic track will follow the same program as students in the clinical track, although their focus will be determined with their individual consultants.
The academic year will be divided into three 11-week periods. Most classes will be held on Monday evenings at the Chicago School for Professional Psychology, 325 N. Wells, Chicago, from 7 to 9PM.
Components of the Program
Weekly Seminars
During each 11-week quarter, weekly seminars will alternate between theoretical study and clinical case conference.
- First Year: 2010-11
- Second Year: 2011-12
Winter - Psychoanalytic Theories of Development
Spring - New Directions in Psychoanalytic Theory: Object Relations, Self- Psychology, and Relational Theories of Treatment
Winter - Primary Process: Dreams and Creativity
Spring - The Integration of Theory and Practice
Individual Consultation
Individual clinical consultation or individual discussion meetings will be scheduled weekly with CCP faculty and members.
Six Public Lectures Throughout the Academic Year
The Fridays@CCP and Sundays@CCP lecture series features outstanding psychoanalysts from across the U.S, from abroad, and from the Chicago analytic community. Information about the CCP Lecture Series will be available in September on the CCP website.
Eligibility to register for the annual collaborative seminar in the analytic training program
Each year, students in the program may register for an additional seminar sponsored jointly by CCP and the Institute for Clinical Social Work. This seminar is part of the curriculum offered to CCP psychoanalytic candidates as well as to the PhD students of ICSW. Participation in this seminar can be considered as a credit earned towards future psychoanalytic training at CCP.
Final project
A final written project, a case report (clinical track students) or a theoretical paper relevant to psychoanalysis (academic track students), will be required for graduation. All students will have the opportunity to discuss individual subject matter with a mentor.
Tuition
$2400 per year
$800 per quarter, due before the beginning of each quarter.
