IPE admits training candidates of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to candidates at the institute. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educa-tional policies, admissions policies, and other institute-administered programs.
The Institute for Psychoanalytic Education is one of the largest psychoanalytic
centers in New York. It offers an outstanding teaching and supervising faculty of more
than 130 psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers, building on a 60-year tradition
of clinical excellence. Candidates and faculty collaborate in a spirit of open inquiry to
explore the complex fields of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, their rich history, and
their many contemporary contributions and unanswered questions.
Founded in 1949 at Downstate Medical Center, the Institute moved to NYU School of
Medicine in 1979, where it became known as NYU Psychoanalytic Institute. In 2010 we
received our charter from New York State, changed our name to IPE, and launched a
new educational era.

* Training & Supervising Analyst (TA), certified by the American Psychoanalytic Associationº Child & Adolescent Supervising Analyst, certified by the American Psychoanalytic Assocation
Our faculty is a dedicated, experienced group of more than 130 psychoanalysts
and academics, with seasoned, senior analysts working alongside younger, recent
graduates. Most faculty members maintain an active private practice, although some
have retired, and others work primarily in teaching or administration. Many faculty
members hold a clinical appointment at NYU School of Medicine. The faculty includes
individuals with a high leadership profile in the profession as well as talented innovators
who are reworking the tools of psychoanalysis.
Faculty membership is administered by the Institute’s Education Committee, which
reports to the Board of Trustees. All supervising faculty must be licensed and registered
to practice in the State of New York and carry private malpractice insurance. Most
teaching faculty members are clinical graduates of a psychoanalytic training
program; some faculty members with outstanding academic credentials but no
clinical psychoanalytic training may teach particular courses in their area of expertise.
Training and Supervising Analysts are certified by the American Psychoanalytic Associa-
tion (“TA’s”). All faculty may provide psychotherapy to candidates in the Psychotherapy
Track.

We believe that psychoanalysis is an essential tool for understanding the human mind. Clinical work
in psychoanalysis requires specific technical skills and an attitude of intellectual and emotional openness
toward the full range of human experience. This is based on a spirit of scientific curiosity about the accumu-
lated and emerging body of psychoanalytic knowledge, combined with an enduring commitment to
patient care.
Our graduates credit psychoanalytic training with making them better all-around clinicians, more ably
equipped to respond to the full dimensions of their patients’ problems. The majority of professionals who train
with us become psychoanalytic practitioners. They may also work in such fields as forensics, psychopharma-
cology, and organizational psychology.
We emphasize a modern conflict model of psychoanalysis, in which ongoing revisions to Freud’s pioneering
discoveries in theory and technique are central. The curriculum includes the study of early as well as
contemporary contributions to the field, paying close attention to their application to varied clinical problems.
IPE’s offices and classrooms are located in the modern, comfortable new office complex of NYU’s
Departments of Adult Psychiatry and Child/Adolescent Psychiatry, One Park Avenue, at 32nd Street. Classes
are held on Saturday mornings and Tuesday evenings, depending on the track. IPE has moved to a digital
library system; the primary research tool is the Psychoanalytic Electronic Publishing Database (PEP), made
available to candidates online for a small subscription fee. Most candidates see training cases in their
private offices and receive supervision in the offices of supervising faculty. LP track candidates see patients
and receive supervision in the Institute’s treatment rooms.

IPE’s clinical education programs are organized under the umbrella of the Licensure
Qualifying Psychoanalytic Training Program, meeting the standards and criteria of New York State
Education Department. We offer three training tracks: PL (post-licensure); LP (licensed psychoana-
lyst); and the Psychotherapy Track. The PL and LP psychoanalytic tracks substantially overlap and
are certificate programs that fulfill the requirements of the Board on Professional Standards of the
American Psychoanalytic Association.
EligibilityApplicants to the psychoanalytic tracks must meet the eligibility requirements of the ApsaA:
PSYCHOANALYTIC TRAINING
*Considerations apply: an M.D. who is working under a psychiatry residency permit in a training program may train at IPE, with
the understanding that IPE offers course work but supervision occurs at the residency facility as part of the residency training.
Doctors of Medicine or of Osteopathic Medicine who have graduated from an accred-
ited medical school or osteopathic medical school, who are in or have completed a
psychiatry residency program.*
Mental health professionals who have completed a doctoral level degree from an
accredited mental health clinical program.
Mental health professionals who have graduated from an accredited mental health
degree program with a clinical master's degree. This must be a degree generally recog-
nized as the highest clinical degree within a specific mental health profession (masters in
social work, in marriage and family therapy, and in psychiatric nursing). These individuals
must also have completed at least two additional post masters’ degree years of didactic
and clinical training including 3000 hours of clinical experience as well as 1) 60 hours post
masters of psychodynamic psychotherapy supervision and 60 hours post masters of
psychodynamically oriented courses and clinical seminars or, 2) a two year organized post
masters psychodynamic psychotherapy program including supervised clinical experience.
10
Applicants apply to a specific track: the PL, LP, or Psychotherapy Track. Eligibility is
determined in part by one’s licensure status – see accompanying chart – and by
the Admissions Committee’s assessment of the applicant’s background, educa-
tion, training, and experience. Individuals with limited exposure to psychodynamic
treatment may be required to enroll in a program of coursework and supervised
casework prior to proceeding with psychoanalytic training (see the Psychotherapy
Track, below). All tracks are taught by Institute faculty with the objective of fostering
a psychodynamic perspective, which underlies all our work.
Post-Licensure Track (PL Track) This is geared toward professionals holding a New York State license that permits
them to offer psychotherapy and psychoanalysis to private patients. This group
includes physicians who are licensed M.D.’s and D.O.’s who have completed or are
completing a psychiatry residency program; licensed psychologists (Ph.D., Psy.D.);
LCSW’s; and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners (N.P.P.’s). Successful candidates earn a
certificate of completion in “Psychoanalysis.”
Licensed Psychoanalyst Track (LP Track)This track is a professional program leading to eligibility to sit for the New York licens-
ing exam in psychoanalysis. As a licensure-qualifying institute, IPE may offer clinical
training to qualified individuals who are not licensed in New York, including:
physicians and psychologists who have trained in other states and countries;
individuals holding a terminal degree (Ph.D., Ed.D. or Masters) in their discipline;
limited permit psychologists; and Masters-level mental health professionals such as
L.M.H.C.’s and L.M.F.C.’s.* Other applicants who meet New York State’s eligibility
requirements for LP training may be considered on a case-by-case basis (see
http://www.op.nysed.gov/prof/mhp/psyanllic.htm). Successful candidates earn a
certificate of completion.
* To the extent that a person holding a limited permit participates in this program, the supervised experience that is gained must
Persons unlicensed in New York, including individuals who hold an MD, DO. or Ph.D awarded in another state or country, must
identify themselves to patients as candidates in the licensure-qualifying program and may not represent themselves with that
title or degree in New York State. Please note that our programs do not qualify for an educational or research visa.

Eligibility for IPE Psychoanalytic Training
Affiliates Program in PsychoanalysisThe Institute offers a four-year Affiliates Program in Psychoanalysis to professionals who
seek non-clinical, academic education in psychoanalysis. Affiliates participate in the
same classes, tutorials and other educational experiences as clinical candidates, but
do not see patients or have supervision. It is highly recommended that Affiliates experi-
ence a personal analysis. Eligibility is limited to individuals with terminal degrees in their
field (Ph.D., M.D., J.D., etc.) or with accomplishments in the arts or other areas.
This academic exposure has appealed to professionals in such fields of developmen-
tal economics, literature, gender studies, and the medical fields of gastroenterology
and neurology. Applicants must demonstrate an abiding interest in integrating a
psychodynamic perspective into their work, and agree that they will not represent
themselves as a psychodynamic clinician. The admission process and the tuition is
the same as in clinical training. Affiliates in Psychoanalysis receive a letter of comple-
tion at the end of the program. For further information contact the Institute office.
sychoanalytic training has three components:
Components of Psychoanalytic Training
P
12
Personal PsychoanalysisOne’s own psychoanalysis is the foundation of training. It increases a candidate’s
sensitivity to the workings of the unconscious which might impede his or her develop-
ment as a psychoanalyst. Psychoanalytic candidates begin analysis with a training
analyst recognized by the APsaA as soon as possible after admission, if they are not
already in treatment. Under certain circumstances, applicants who already are in
analysis with a training analyst from another APsaA training institute may continue with
that analyst while training at IPE. A candidate’s analysis is expected to continue well
into the period of supervised clinical work. Training analyses are conducted at a
frequency of four or five times per week. Fees are arranged privately between the
candidate and his/her training analyst.
Supervised Clinical WorkImmersion in psychoanalytic work unfolds over the first two years of training, at a
pace appropriate for each candidate. Many first year candidates start their first
case, aided by our Psychoanalytic Case Development Supervision program. A
candidate must have a psychoanalytic case to progress to the third year of
training, and two cases to progress to the fourth year. Patients may be drawn from
the candidate’s private practice or from the Institute’s Consultation and Treatment
Service, and are seen four-to-five times per week. Licensed (PL) candidates
conduct the treatment privately, usually in the candidate’s own office, with the
expressed understanding that the case is being supervised. LP candidates arrange
to use IPE’s facilities for treatment and supervision. The Student Progression Advisor
helps candidates select their supervisors for ongoing cases. The supervisory fee is
often based upon the fee that the candidate receives from his/her patient. Candi-
dates work out the patient fee arrangement after obtaining supervision from
faculty on the specifics of each treatment situation.
Training cases are seen a minimum of four times a week, with weekly supervision.
The supervisor submits an annual report to the Student Progression Committee
(SPC) Advisor evaluating the candidate’s psychoanalytic work.

CurriculumThe curriculum - more than 50 seminars - consists of four years of required classes,
taught on Saturday mornings, 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., September through May.
During the first year, and through the first trimester of the second year, there is also
a class on Tuesday evenings, from 8:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., often in the instructor’s
private office. For the first two years following completion of the four-year curricu-
lum, senior candidates attend a monthly continuous case seminar. LP candidates
are required to attend additional senior seminars to complete the educational
requirements for license eligibility. Each course is evaluated by the candidates
who complete it, and the entire curriculum is reviewed periodically by a Curricu-
lum Review Committee of senior faculty.
The course of study reflects our perspective that psychoanalysis is an evolving
theory and practice. Contemporary theory is studied in light of its historical devel-
opment. There is a balance between theoretical and clinical courses. A primary
goal of the curriculum is to help candidates master contemporary psychoanalytic
technique with analyzable patients. In keeping with the widening scope of analy-
sis, we include theoretical and technical courses that address the psychoanalytic
treatment of more disturbed patients. Development courses, including child and
adolescent case material, are integrated into the adult curriculum.
The curriculum consists of five course sequences: Theory; Methodology/Technique;
Development; Continuous Case Seminars; and Scholarly Reading and Writing.
Other important courses are studied from an historical as well as from a contem-
porary perspective: object relations; the analytic understanding of dreams and
their clinical use; enhancing one’s psychoanalytic stance and developing analytic
cases; neurobiology and psychoanalysis; professional ethics; psychoanalytic
research methodology; and the application of psychoanalytic concepts to the
arts and sciences.
The chart on pages 14-15 shows the required courses for the LP and PL tracks.
Unless otherwise indicated, all courses are 10 weeks long. Detailed course
descriptions and representative reading lists may be found on our website.
Candidate Progression and Graduation RequirementsUpon admission to the Institute, each psychoanalytic candidate is assigned a faculty
advisor who is a member of the Student Progression Committee (SPC). The SPC consists of
15 faculty members who meet bi-weekly to review candidate progress and related educa-
tional issues. The SPC Advisor and candidate meet at regular intervals to discuss the
candidate’s progress and concerns. These meetings include reviewing written and oral
feedback by class instructors and case supervisors; discussions by the Student Progression
Committee; and concerns, feedback or questions. Candidates generally remain with the
same SPC Advisor throughout their training, but may request a switch if desired. A candi-
date's analysis is an entirely private matter. The SPC advisor each year will ask only if the
candidate is in analysis.
To progress from one year to the next, the SPC confirms that each candidate has a
satisfactory attendance record in classes; has achieved a satisfactory evaluation from
course instructors and supervisors; has submitted required case write-ups; and has paid all
fees. Candidates must have an ongoing supervised analytic case by the beginning of the
third year of classes, and at least two supervised analytic cases by the beginning of the
fourth year. A candidate who does not meet this timetable may be asked by the SPC to
intermit from classes until he or she has the requisite number of cases. During this leave,
the candidate continues with existing case supervision and is usually assisted by a Psycho-
analytic Case Development (PCD) supervisor. The SPC Advisor continues to receive written
and oral evaluations of the candidate’s case work. A candidate may also be asked to
intermit if the SPC determines that he or she is not integrating theoretical understanding
and psychoanalytic technique into his or her clinical experience.
Eligibility for graduation is based on demonstrated competence to conduct independent
psychoanalytic treatment. A candidate must have experience treating a minimum of
three supervised, non-psychotic patients (both male and female) in four-times-weekly
psychoanalysis. We consider the achievement of psychoanalytic maturity to be evidenced
in: analytic attitude (good clinical judgment capacity for analytic listening, patience,
commitment); self-awareness; interventional skills (effectiveness and flexibility); concep-
tual skills; written reports; and sound supervisory process. A terminated case is not required,
but demonstration of a candidate’s ability to work towards a satisfactory termination is
essential.
17
Discussions about graduation take place between the candidate and his or her SPC Advisor,
who has knowledge of all ongoing supervisory evaluations. The SPC Committee, in direct
consultation with the candidate’s supervisors, votes to graduate a candidate. A recommenda-
tion for graduation by the SPC is forwarded to the Education Committee for a final vote.
If a candidate is not satisfied with a supervisory relationship or disagrees with a progression decision,
he or she begins a discussion with the SPC Advisor. In certain circumstances, a change of supervisor
may be recommended. SPC advisors take a candidate’s concerns to the entire Student Progression
Committee for confidential review. If a candidate feels unheard in this process, he or she may
appeal to the Education Committee’s Student Grievance Committee. If still unresolved, the candi-
date may appeal to the entire Education Committee, which can hear the grievance directly.
18
Tuition, Fees, and Financial Aid
Annual fees vary by track. Personal treatment fees will vary substantially, depending on
the provider and frequency. We make every effort to keep tuition, supervisory fees, and
treatment costs affordable. Interest-free loans are available for some costs.
FOUR YEARS OF COURSES PLUS ADDITIONAL CASE WORK
year candidates. Training case supervisory fees are arranged between the candidate and
supervisor, taking into consideration the often reduced fee of a candidate’s training cases. Most
supervisors peg the supervisory fee to the single-session fee paid by candidate’s patient.
and may increase as a candidate’s successful private practice expands.
19
PSYCHOTHERAPY TRAINING
The two-year Psychotherapy Track is offered to candidates who seek training and experience in
psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy. The program investigates the mind from the perspec-
tive of current psychoanalytic theories of normal and pathological development and function. It
explores how individuals acquire the capacity to know and care for others, attain a gender identity,
develop standards and ideals, and achieve balance in working, loving, and living during the life cycle.
Our focus is adult psychotherapy. We explore the central roles of development, unconscious
processes, and intra-psychic conflict in the formation of personality and psychopathology. The
clinical focus is on how these factors influence the psychotherapeutic process. Licensed psychia-
trists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, psychologists and mental health professionals who complete
the psychotherapy track obtain a certificate of completion.
The course work differs from the psychoanalytic tracks, and course credits may not be transferred to
the psychoanalytic curriculum. Graduates of the Psychotherapy Track are encouraged to continue
in the Psychoanalytic Track following a review; however, admission is not guaranteed.
Note: Total annual costs will vary, depending on a candidate’s timetable for picking up cases and
the cost of one’s personal psychoanalysis. Candidates are required to be in psychoanalysis for the
duration of their classes. The timing of terminating one’s psychoanalysis is a private matter between
the analyst and the candidate. Many candidates continue treatment for at least an additional year,
some continue through graduation. Many candidates graduate in six years; others slow the pace of
training for personal reasons, and remain seniors for several more years.
There are several sources of student loans to help defray costs incurred during training. The
Psychoanalytic Association of New York (PANY), the professional society affiliated with IPE,
provides no-interest loans to psychoanalytic track qualified candidates through its Student Aid
Committee. Another source of interest-free loans is the Candidate Assistance Fund of the
American Psychoanalytic Association. Contact the IPE office for more information.

Components of the Psychotherapy Training
The program emphasizes clinical experience and follows a tripartite model:

21
CurriculumClasses take place on Tuesday evenings, 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., from mid-September to late
May. There are three 10-week trimesters, two classes each evening. Most courses involve
assigned reading. Classes are held at IPE’s beautiful new offices at One Park Avenue (at 32nd
Street).
The course of study explores a wide variety of psychopathology. The Technique courses in
particular address the ways in which psychodynamic psychotherapy can affect and modify
pathologic outcomes of development. Case material is presented by seminar participants, and
group discussion makes up a significant component of the learning. The clinical seminars
approach the various phases of treatment -- opening, working through and termination.

IPE PsychotherapyTrack Curriculum
The Psychotherapy Committee assigns one of its members to sit in on classes once each trimester to
assess how they are going and to speak with candidates about whether the class is meeting their
needs. The Coordinator communicates individual candidates’ concerns to the Psychotherapy
Committee and brings messages to the candidates about their progress from the committee. The
Coordinator stays with the class for the two years of the program.

Candidate Progression and Graduation Requirements
Candidate progression is determined by the Psychotherapy Committee, which
reviews instructors' written evaluations of candidates each trimester, and
receives written and oral supervisory reports on a semi-annual basis. In order to
complete the training year a candidate must get satisfactory evaluations from
supervisors and instructors. Attendance at a minimum of 80% of classes is a
requirement. The candidate must be involved in personal treatment, have
completed the annual case reports, and paid all IPE tuition and fees. Candi-
dates are nominated for graduation by the Psychotherapy Committee upon
satisfactory completion of all program requirements.
Some candidates are unable to fulfill their case requirements during the
two-year timetable and continue to receive supervision for an additional
period. If supervision and case write-ups are not completed by September 1 of
the new academic year, the senior candidate pays a $250 registration fee.
If a student has a serious grievance about progression, he or she may speak
with the Chair of the Psychotherapy Committee, who will appoint a member of
the Committee to discuss the grievance with the candidate, and then bring it
to the Psychotherapy Committee, if appropriate. If a candidate feels unheard
in this process, he or she may appeal to the IPE Education Committee.

In addition to considerations of licensing and experience, we consider the dimen-
sion of personal suitability. We value personal integrity, maturity, and an abiding
interest in the vicissitudes of human experience and psychological growth; a
capacity for psychological understanding and sensitivity; the ability to listen and
communicate empathically; the desire to make observations non-judgmentally in
an inherently subjective field; and a tolerance for frustration, complexity, and
ambiguity. Psychoanalytic training helps a candidate develop and integrate these
characteristics within him or herself.
We encourage a diverse community of trainees. Admission is granted without
regard to gender, race, creed, sexual orientation, or national origin.
IPE participates in a three-institute initiative to provide optional, advanced
child/adolescent psychoanalytic training to candidates who are enrolled in the
Post-Licensure Adult Psychoanalytic track. Classes are taught jointly with Columbia
University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research, and New York Psycho-
analytic Society & Institute. The two-year curriculum includes didactic instruction in
the theory and technique of child and adolescent psychoanalysis, continuous
case seminars, and supervised psychoanalytic work. This program may be pursued
concurrently with Adult training. The program is coordinated with IPE’s Adult Psycho-
analytic program so that many fundamentals of child training are covered in the
candidate's four years of adult classes.
CHILD AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHOANALYSIS
25
EligibilityAdmission is open to licensed graduates and current candidates of the IPE. Candi-
dates are best prepared to enter the child program after completing two years of
either psychoanalytic track, but applicants may be considered for admission earlier,
depending on their prior professional experience.
Components of TrainingWeekly classes are held on Thursday evenings at New York Psychoanalytic (247 East
82nd Street), in three 11-week trimesters. Each trimester offers a Technique course and
a Continuous Case Seminar. Two instructors teach each course, representing different
institutes in each pairing.
Supervised Clinical Work
Candidates treat a minimum of three cases (pre-latency, latency, and adolescent) in
supervised analyses. IPE candidates in the Adult Training who enter the child program
may, with the approval of the Student Progression committee and the Child Progres-
sion Committee, begin a supervised child or adolescent analytic case at any point
during their adult classes. One child or adolescent case may count towards the
candidate’s graduation in the Adult program.
Graduation RequirementsGraduation requirements from the Child and Adolescent Program are similar to
those in Adult Psychoanalysis: analytic maturity and the capacity for independent
analytic work. This includes having successfully completed the didactic curriculum
and demonstrated analytic competence in clinical work with at least three cases,
as evidenced by supervisors' written evaluations and the candidate's own written
summaries of his or her cases. A terminated case is not required, but at least one
of the candidate's current cases should be headed for satisfactory termination.
CostsAnnual Tuition: $650
Supervisory fees are paid by arrangement.

FELLOWSHIP IN PSYCHOANALYSIS
IPE offers a Fellowship in Psychoanalysis, designed to introduce talented
mental health professionals in all disciplines to a psychoanalytic way of thinking
and working. Fellows meet in a monthly seminar to explore clinically relevant
perspectives to patient care in private and hospital settings. They also participate
in one-on-one monthly mentoring meetings with a practicing analyst. Selection as
an IPE Fellow is considered an academic honor and there is no cost to participate.
The fellowship year extends from September through June.
Eligibility and SuitabilityThe Fellowship is a competitive, rigorous program. Applicants must be involved in
clinical work during the fellowship year. The program is open to psychiatrists and
psychiatry residents; clinical psychologists, psychology interns and externs;
L.C.S.W.’s, and L.M.S.W.’s in a supervised program; L.M.H.C.’s; and Psychiatric Nurse
Practitioners. We are looking for professionals of the highest caliber who will make
the most of this unique opportunity. Fellows are expected to complete assigned
readings each month and to attend all mentor and seminar sessions.
MentoringThe centerpiece of the program is a mentoring relationship with a practicing
analyst. This offers the Fellow an opportunity to delve into topics of particular
interest. Every effort is made to match Fellows with a mentor of similar interests and
location. Each Fellow meets with an analyst-mentor in the analyst’s private office.
Most mentors are located in Manhattan, but mentor assignments also may be
arranged in Brooklyn, Long Island, Westchester, and Northern New Jersey
27
Seminar Fellows attend a monthly reading seminar led by psychoanalyst faculty and senior
candidates. These are held on Monday nights. The Fellowship seminars are
organized as an introduction to psychoanalytic thinking, illustrated by clinical case
material relevant to the kinds of clinical settings encountered by psychiatry
residents, clinical psychologists and psychology interns, clinical social workers, and
others. The diverse backgrounds of the Fellowship group enrich the seminar discus-
sion. In recent years IPE has offered seminar meetings both in Brooklyn and
Manhattan.
Additional benefits
Fellows are encouraged to attend IPE events throughout the year, as well as the
monthly scientific meetings of our affiliated society—Psychoanalytic Association of
New York (PANY). Discounted participation may be arranged at the meetings of the
American Psychoanalytic Association (APsaA). CME credit is available. Alumni of
the Fellowship program are invited to maintain ongoing contact with IPE through
additional educational experiences.
ApplicationApplications are accepted beginning February 1, with the deadline for submission
being June 1st. Early application is strongly encouraged. In recent years we have
been unable to accept all the applicants who have applied; the early qualified
applicant is given priority admission.
You may download an application at our website, then email, fax, or mail your
application with your CV. Applicants will be interviewed by a member of the Fellow-
ship Committee during the spring and early summer.

OUTREACH PROGRAMSPlease see our website for more information: www.psa.med.nyu.edu
Introduction to Theory and Technique in Psychoanalysis and PsychotherapySix-Week Saturday Seminar
IPE has offered this popular introductory seminar for more than a decade. The basic tenets of
theory and practice in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy are explored, including a consider-
ation of the differences between the two. This includes a presentation of a psychoanalytic model
of the mind, a model of development, and a model of technique. The second half of the series
consists of presentation of analytic case material. The seminar is taught by Anne Erreich, Ph.D.,
who was awarded the Edith Sabshin Teaching Award in 2010 by the American Psychoanalytic
Association in recognition of her talent in teaching psychodynamic perspectives to the profes-
sional public. She is joined by Malini Singh, Ph.D.
Prelude to TrainingSaturday morning seminar series to learn more about psychodynamic thinking (includes the
Six-Week Seminar above)
IPE offers this program to meet the needs of psychiatry residents, graduate students, and early career
clinicians interested in learning more about practice and treatment approaches in psychodynamic
psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. The seminars – approximately 16 in number- have a clinical and
practical focus, providing participants with an opportunity to hear and discuss case material. Most
sessions are structured around a key clinical or theoretical concept and may include optional
readings.
The seminars are taught by IPE faculty and advanced training candidates. The program also
includes the option of arranging, at no additional cost, two private mentoring sessions with a
psychodynamic clinician to explore professional options in the fields of psychiatry, psychology,
social work and mental health. This is not a training program and does not entail supervision. CME
credit is available. Successful participants receive a letter of completion.
The presentations change from year to year, and in recent years have included:
EligibilityThis program is designed for graduate or post-graduate level trainees and clinicians of
all levels of experience. You do not need to be licensed, but you must be studying or
practicing in a clinical field.
Application and FeesThe registration form is found on the IPE website. The program costs $450, with $250 due
at registration.

Psychoanalytic Consultation and Treatment ServiceIPE runs a Consultation and Treatment Service (CTS) which offers low-fee psychoanalysis and
psychotherapy to adults, adolescents and children in the New York metropolitan area. The service
receives over 150 applications annually, and is administered by a committee made up of faculty
and candidates. Suitable applicants are referred to candidates in all training tracks. Patients are
seen in candidates’ private offices.
The mission of the committee is to serve both the Institute and the New York City community in
matching the educational needs of IPE candidates with the clinical needs of our patient
applicants. Committee members do an initial triage of patients, usually through telephone
screenings, and then refer them for in-person consultation with candidates. The consulting thera-
pist meets with the applicant for up to three sessions, at no charge, and following discussion with
his or her supervisor, develops a treatment recommendation for psychoanalysis, psychotherapy
preparatory to analysis, or psychotherapy. The CTS committee works closely with the consulting
candidate in the transition from consultation to treatment. The CTS maintains close contact with
the Student Progression Committee, the Case Development Supervisory program, and the
Psychotherapy Committee.
In addition to general administrative clinic functions, the committee is involved in promoting
these clinical services to the New York community. Referrals to the service are welcome from all
sources. Applicants pay a $50 fee, which covers the cost of the consultation phase. Information
and a treatment application may be found at the IPE website, www.med.nyu.edu/psa/treatment.
