Is designed to give mental health providers and scholars interested in psychoanalytic psychotherapy an opportunity to explore a wide range of models of the treatment process in terms of their historical contribution and current clinical application. Grounded in a contemporary, comparative approach to psychoanalytic psychotherapy, the fellowship aims to enrich participants’ understanding of human nature and to promote a deeper, more vital and effective clinical practice. Senior clinicians and postgraduate fellows will present their own psychotherapy cases and the fellows will have ample opportunity to discuss many of the practical issues that emerge in initiating and conducting their clinical work.

• Course work for the first year consists of two closely integrated seminars, one didactic, the other clinical. Both seminars will meet on Monday evenings from 7:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. at the Harvard Faculty Club, Quincy Street, Cambridge. There are four terms for a total of nineteen sessions, including a final review and evaluation. The number of participants in the program will be limited to create optimal seminar interaction.

• After the first year of the fellowship there may be an optional seminar for which all graduates of the first year program will be eligible. A mentoring program will also be available for students in need of preparatory experience.

• Referrals for individual supervision coordinated with the fellowship will be available on request. Each fellow will have an individual MIP advisor available to consult on any issues related to the program and professional plans.
