Adult Psychoanalysis Program/DC
The NYFS Psychoanalytic Training Institute conceives of the training in psychoanalysis as comprising three components: course instruction, personal analysis, and control analysis.
Course Instruction
An Overview of Our New Curriculum
The NYFS Psychoanalytic Training Institute has developed a new curriculum for the Adult Psychoanalysis programs. Informed by post-Freudian developments and theoretical perspectives, as well as current research on infant development and attachment, it is a Modern Freudian Curriculum that places Analytic Listening at the center of the learning process. Seasoned clinician-instructors will present detailed clinical material that includes how they as analysts thought and felt as they made choices as to what to address in the hour. Within this rich and complex context, candidates will learn to listen to a wide range of clinical material from multiple vantage points and at many levels.
These classes in analytic listening will be coordinated with courses on key concepts. These concepts will be integrated with, and arise out of, the clinical presentations, and will attend to the unfolding of object relations in the structure of the analytic situation. In this way, theory will have an experiential base that will be alive and meaningful to the students. Candidates will simultaneously study psychoanalytic theories of development attending to the initial dyad and moving to the triad (oedipal and other).
Candidates in the Adult Psychoanalysis program in Washington attend classes from 9:00 to 5:00 on 12 Saturdays between September and May. This schedule has allowed candidates to train from as far away as Florida, Michigan and Mexico.

Personal Analysis
Each candidate is expected to begin a personal analysis (also called a Training Analysis) with a Training and Supervising Analyst at the New York Freudian Society when they matriculate. Should an applicant already be in analysis with someone who is not a Training and Supervising Analyst with the New York Freudian Society and wish to continue in that analysis, discussion between the candidate, the Director of Admissions, Chair of the Progression Committee and the Institute Director would take place before acceptance into the program was finalized.
Control Analysis
Candidates conduct their own analyses under supervision, as an essential and vital part of their analytic training. The candidate sees his/her own analysand four times a week and is supervised by a Training and Supervising Analyst once weekly. By the time a candidate is ready to graduate they will have seen at least two control cases, and have had the experience of at least two supervisors. For candidates at some geographical distance from their supervisor, supervision can be arranged on an every other week schedule. Yearly case summary reports are part of the clinical responsibility of the candidate and part of the learning experience of doing psychoanalysis. Every candidate has an opportunity to discuss the summaries each year with a member of the Progression committee and an independent case summary reader. A minimum of 200 hours of supervision between the two cases is required.
For more details about the requirements for graduation, please see our Candidate Guidelines.
Psychotherapy
Licensed and insured candidates are encouraged to accept and treat one psychotherapy patient referred by the Clinical Services Division.
Admissions
The Training Institute’s Adult Psychoanalysis Program welcomes applicants 25 years and older, with a Master’s or higher degree in Social Work, Psychology, Medicine or Nursing, as well as those with Master’s Degrees in other clinical disciplines, such as Creative Arts Therapy and Counseling. In addition, professionals with graduate degrees in fields that enrich psychoanalysis, such as education, philosophy, and sociology, are encouraged to apply. Applicants with previous psychoanalytic training at other IPA Institutes may also make an inquiry to the Admissions Committee with regard to the possibility of obtaining advanced status. The Committee will consider each such case in the light of the applicant's prior experience, and the comparability of the previous training, and the Institute's standards.
Graduates are eligible for membership in the New York Freudian Society and the International Psychoanalytical Association. Upon graduation, our members become part of a group of psychoanalysts working and learning not only locally but around the world.
