Training Institute Programs in New York City

The Psychoanalytic Training Institute of the New York Freudian Society offers a variety of programs in New York City for those interested in psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and parent-infant treatment. We are a Component Society of the International Psychoanalytic Association (IPA). The IPA is the oldest and largest international psychoanalytic organization and the world's primary accrediting and regulatory body for psychoanalysis. We are a fully chartered by the Board of Regents in New York State. We anticipate that our Adult Psychoanalysis Program Track B will be able to offer certificates of completion that would enable graduates to obtain a license in psychoanalysis, pending the approval of the New York State Education Department (NYSED).

Our programs in NYC are:

Adult Psychoanalysis Program
Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis Program
Anni Bergman Parent-Infant Toddler Training Program
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program
Explorations Program
Fellowship Program

Training in our Adult Psychoanalysis Program, as well as in the Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis Program, involves 4 1/2 years of course instruction, a personal analysis, and analysis conducted under supervision. The Adult Psychoanalysis Program in New York is offered in two tracks: Track A is for clinicians who have a New York State License in the fields of Psychiatry, Psychology, Social Work, or Nursing (as a Nurse Practitioner); Track B (pending approval by NYSED) is for applicants who are interested in a certificate of completion in order to qualify for a License in Psychoanalysis (LP), and is in most respects identical to Track A except for the additional courses and clinical work required by the New York State Education Department. Applicants for Track B may include Masters-level clinicians who are Licensed Creative Arts Therapists, Licensed Mental Health Counselors, or Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, as well as graduates of Masters and Doctoral programs who have a strong interest in psychoanalysis. For the student interested in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, we offer a two-year program involving coursework and supervised therapy. Our Explorations Program is a one-year sequence of classes designed for those who want to learn more about the principles of the psychodynamic therapies. For psychoanalysts or advanced psychoanalytic candidates, we offer the Anni Bergman Parent-Infant Training Program, in collaboration with the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research (IPTAR). In addition, our one-year Fellowship Programs is for people who are interested in learning about psychoanalysis and analytic training by attending case conferences and mentoring sessions with our Members.
