The Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and ResearchSince its founding more than four decades ago, IPTAR’s mission has been to provide rigorous and high-quality psychoanalytic training steeped in classical and contem-porary Freudian thought. Our updated and revised cur-riculum offers course work in object relations theory, narcissistic regulatory processes, child development, ego psychology, and current issues in the “widening scope” of psychoanalysis, as well as classical Freudian theory. Our mission and orientation are only part of what makes IPTAR a worthwhile and appealing place to at-tend for advanced training. IPTAR today is a thriving, vibrant institution. In recent years it has developed and added to its roster new training programs: the Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy Training Program, the Socio- Psychoanalytic Training Program in Organizational Development and Consultation, and the Introductory Psychoanalytic Program. We have also created a clinic which delivers low-cost treatment to our surrounding com-munity and which, at the same time, offers candidates the possibility of augmenting their clinical experience while earning an income and receiving free supervision from IPTAR psychoanalysts. IPTAR’s candidates can and do serve on virtually all of IPTAR’s committees and all of its governing boards. And the organization as a whole functions as a home where graduates and members can continue throughout their professional lives to engage in learning, sharing of ideas, research, and ongoing commitment to the field of psycho-analysis. IPTAR has the distinction of being one of the first non-medical institutes to become affiliated with the Inter-national Psychoanalytical Association and all graduates of IPTAR’s psychoanalytic training are eligible for member-ship in the IPA.

The Training Institute of the New York Freudian SocietyThe Training Institute of The New York Freudian Society offers comprehensive training in adult and child psychoanalysis and a program in parent-infant dyadic treatment. The adult psycho-analytic training is also available in Washington, D.C. Psychoanalytic training seminars begin with a core common to the adult and child programs. This includes an introduction to basic psychoanalytic theory and its historical development from infancy through maturity, the concept of the unconscious, the theory of the drives and narcissistic regulatory processes, the principles of ego psychology and object relations, and the formation of dreams, fantasies and symptoms. Throughout the curriculum, the focus is on the origins, development, and elaboration of psychoanalytic ideas. Continuous case seminars give candidates the opportunity to integrate theory and its clinical application with a broad range of patients. The Program for the Study of Parent-Infant and Parent- Toddler Relationships and Dyadic Treatment is a three-year program for graduate analysts who study infant research, the application of infant studies to clinical work, and the treatment of infants/toddlers and their primary caretakers. Our two-year program in psychoanalytic psychotherapy offers a curriculum spanning the life cycle and developmental issues. Course work and supervision will emphasize clear under-standing of technique and its application to clinical practice. Candidates are served by an effective candidate’s organiza-tion with representatives on major Society committees and a Consultation Service which actively seeks patient referrals for candidates. Tuition assistance, affordable fees for supervision, and reduced fees for psychoanalysis are available.
The New York Freudian Society is a Component Society of the In-ternational Psychoanalytic Association and all graduates qualify for membership in that organization.
The Institute for Clinical Social WorkThe Institute for Clinical Social Work was founded 25 years ago to offer advanced programs with a psychodynamic per-spective.

Westchester Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy
WCSPP was founded over thirty years ago to provide advanced training in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy for mental health professionals. WCSPP is interdisciplinary, nonhierar-chical, and chartered by the Regents of the University of the State of New York. The faculty represents a range of contem-porary psychoanalytic approaches and is committed to a con-tinuing reassessment of ideas in light of new knowledge and developments in the field. Both candidates and faculty have a mutual role in the shaping of curriculum, policies, and a strong educational community.
The Psychoanalytic Training Program (four years) is de-signed to provide candidates with a firm grounding in psycho-analytic theory and practice through courses, supervised psy-choanalytic clinical work, and a personal analysis. Financial aid is available to eligible candidates in the Psychoanalytic Program.
The Psychotherapy Training Program (two years) provides candidates with advanced training in psychotherapy through courses and supervised clinical work.
The Child/Adolescent Psychotherapy Program (two years) provides candidates with advanced training in psychotherapy with children, adolescents, and their families through courses and supervised clinical work.

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study CenterThe Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center is dedicated to using multiple theoretical perspectives to provide high-level training in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy to psychologists, social workers and other qualified mental health practitioners. While the curriculum and study envi-ronment are formulated to provide a solid grounding in basic psychoanalytic theory, PPSC operates from the premise that psychoanalytic training is enriched by exposure to all major theoretical orientations. We believe openness to different ap-proaches will greatly facilitate the growth and development of the clinician. The study environment challenges the candi-date to compare and integrate significant contributions of all major orientations: Contemporary Freudian Analysis, Modern Psychoanalysis, Object Relations, Self Psychology, Relational, Interpersonal, and Intersubjective Theory. Our goal is to graduate psychoanalysts and psychothera-pists who represent our unique tradition of diversity, recogni-tion and respect for the individual. PPSC’s focus is on helping practitioners find a consistent, theoretically based approach that works best for them. Classes, group supervision, personal analysis, individual supervision and an integrated curriculum enable the candidate to accomplish these goals. PPSC offers a four-year Psychoanalysis Training Program and a three-year Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Training Pro-gram. The four-year program requires more intensive personal analysis and supervision and final year of course work that further compares and integrates theory. PPSC also offers Continuing Education seminars and an extensive lecture series integrating psychoanalysis and addic-tions and workshops throughout the year. In the spirit of what we believe psychoanalysis to be, PPSC is committed to community, curiosity, and collegiality that foster openness to learning from each other.

PPSC does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual preference, national or ethnic origin or analytic orientation in the administration of its admissions and education policies.
The New York School for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis
NYSPP recognizes that psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a dis-tinct professional discipline within the mental health field and requires its own rigorous training. The school’s training program is based on contemporary theory which integrates the perspective of psychosexual development and ego psy-chology with the contributions of object relations, conflict theory and self-psychology. This blend of proven, contempo-rary theory provides a dynamic and clear understanding of the human mind. Graduates complete their training with the skills necessary to evaluate and treat a wide range of patient problems.
NYSPP’s three-year program is relevant and oriented to the needs of clinicians who practice in a variety of settings. Classes meet in Manhattan on Monday evening for two 15-week seminars over three years.

National Psychological Association for PsychoanalysisWriters, professors, social workers, psychologists, lawyers, art-ists, philosophers, and others comprise NPAP, the oldest and largest nonmedical institute in the Western Hemisphere. NPAP evolved from pioneering seminars begun in 1948 by Theodor Reik, a student of Sigmund Freud and a major voice in psychoanalysis. Mindful of a legacy reaching directly back to Freud, the institute offers comprehensive psychoanalytic training that is both grounded in the classical tradition and expanded by contemporary insights and research. It also hon-ors the principle, made clear by Freud in The Question of Lay Analysis (1926), that psychoanalysis is a profession indepen-dent of other training. Chartered by New York State to admit candidates with at least a master’s degree, NPAP offers train-ing that is enriching, spirited, and interdisciplinary.
NPAP is proud of several distinctive aspects of its train-ing. • Clinical experience is provided for candidates via referrals from the Theodor Reik Clinical Center for Psycho-therapy (TRCC). • Candidates are eligible to apply for the NYS License in Psychoanalysis after completion of our license-qualifying program. • Candidates have an active part in the governance of NPAP through the student organization.
IPSS
IPSS offers both a four-year psychoanalytic training program
and a one-year post-certificate psychoanalytic program with
a distinctive emphasis on the systematic study and clinical
application of psychoanalytic self psychology and
intersubjectivity. Courses are offered in self psychology and
intersubjectivity theory as well as classical psychoanalytic,
object relations and relational theory. This training program
is designed for clinicians interested in psychoanalytic
clinical practice and in the further development of theory
and research. Course work, supervision and independent
study are provided by an internationally distinguished faculty
who encourage independent thought.
J O I N T H E D I A L O G U E
INSTITUTE FOR THE PSYCHOANALYTIC STUDY OF SUBJECTIVITY
NYSPP offers an additional two-year training program in psychoanalysis. This program is open to graduates of our psychotherapy program and to other equally qualified candi-dates.
NYSPP offers a two-year Child and Adolescent training program. This program blends contemporary psychoanalytic theories with practical interventions to support families and children facing difficult realities. Students study infant devel-opment research and ego psychology, with contributions of object relations and other modern psychoanalytic theory. We recognize the importance of knowledge within a multicultur-al environment such as New York City and emphasize the role of culture and ethnicity throughout our training. Practice courses offer the opportunity to discuss clinical case material in a supportive and confidential learning environment.
NYSPP maintains Clinical Services on Long Island, West-chester, New Jersey, and New York City. An annually published membership directory facilitates networking and referrals.
NYSPP has an active Alumni Association which sponsors major professional meetings open to the public. It also hosts smaller meetings for members and candidates, and special workshops and seminars for ongoing learning.

National Institute for the PsychotherapiesA Comprehensive Learning Center for Psychoanalytical Training
The National Institute for the Psychotherapies, a New York State chartered training institute since 1972, offers a number of training programs to meet the needs of today’s practitio-ners. With rigorous academic scholarship in a growth promot-ing, collegial environment, NIP creates an exciting commu-nity of learning.
NIP’s programs include training in Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytically Oriented Psychotherapy for Adults (a four-year program), Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis and Comprehensive Psychotherapy (a three-year program), Su-pervision of the Psychoanalytic Process (a one-year program), Psychodynamic Approaches in the Work Setting (a one-year evening program), National Training Program in Contempo-rary Psychoanalysis (a program for the distant learner), and an Internship and Externship program for psychologists and social workers.
Unlike most training programs which subscribe to a sin-gle “school” of psychoanalysis, NIP’s programs offer a broader training in a number of theoretical orientations. The core of the programs is a thorough training, both didactic and practi-cal, that is grounded in a foundation of classical theory, and emphasizes the newer developments in relational theories, in-cluding self psychology, object relations, and developmental theory. Our goal is to develop in our candidates an under-standing of various theoretical and technical paradigms and to foster the flexibility and clinical skill to effectively use these different therapeutic approaches.
Because we recognize that integrating theory and prac-tice is a complex and lifelong process, NIP fosters an open learning environment that nurtures candidates during their training and extends into their professional life afterwards. With yearly town meetings for the entire community, APA- approved Continuing Education Programs with outstanding speakers, an Annual Scientific Meeting, informal workshops, and an active professional organization, NIP encourages col-legial relationships and continued learning opportunities and associations.
For further information about the institute or our Open House, please call 212.582.1566 or visit our website at www.nipinst.org.
