The Training Program

MIP CURRENTLY OFFERS THREE PROGRAMS: The General Training Program The Massachusetts Institute for Psychoanalysis offers mental health professionals the opportunity to study psychoanalysis and to be trained to conduct clinical psychoanalysis. Training is offered to members of the mental health community who are independently licensed practitioners. The clinical training program includes four years of classes, three supervised analytic cases and a personal analysis. A certificate is awarded upon the completion of study. The Institute also offers the opportunity to study psychoanalysis without clinical training to scholars from any field who are interested in the application of psychoanalytic thought to their area of scholarship.

We are pleased to offer a Postgraduate Fellowship Program "Perspectives on Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy: From Freud to the Twenty-First Century" A Seventeen Session Program November 2008 to May 2009 at the Harvard Faculty Club, Cambridge, MA The Postgraduate Fellowship Program: 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 will present their own psychotherapy cases and postgraduate 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. 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 three terms for a total of seventeen sessions.  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.
