The Psychoanalytic Training Institute
of The New York Freudian Society

The Psychoanalytic Training Institute of the New York Freudian Society offers a variety of programs in both New York City and Washington, DC for students interested in psychoanalysis, child psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and parent-infant treatment. We anticipate that our Track B Adult Psychoanalysis Program in New York will be able to offer a certificate of completion that would enable graduates to obtain a License in Psychoanalysis (LP). The Psychoanalytic Training Institute of the New York Freudian Society is a Component Institute in the International Psychoanalytic Association (IPA) and is registered with the New York State Department of Education (pending).

The programs are:

Adult Psychoanalysis in NY (Track A & Track B)
Adult Psychoanalysis in DC
Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis in NY
Anni Bergman Parent-Infant Toddler Training Program in NY
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program in NY
Fellowship Program in NY
Fellowship Program in DC

Training in our Adult Psychoanalysis Program (Tracks A & B), as well as the Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis Program, involves 4 to 5 years of course instruction, a personal analysis, and analysis conducted under supervision. The Adult Psychoanalysis Programs in New York are 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 to apply to The New York State Department of Education for a License in Psychoanalysis (LP). Applicants for Track B may include Masters-level graduates of Masters and Doctoral programs who have a strong interest in psychoanalysis as well as clinicians who are Licensed Creative Arts Therapists, Licensed Mental Health Counselors, or Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists.

The Adult Psychoanalysis Program in Washington is designed to enable candidates who live in other geographical locations, or who have schedules that preclude taking weekly classes, to train at The Psychoanalytic Training Institute of The New York Freudian Society-DC. Classes meet from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on 12 Saturdays each academic year. (Please note that this program will not qualify applicants to apply for the LP credential in NY.)

The Anni Bergman Parent-Infant Training Program, designed for the graduate analyst or advanced psychoanalytic candidate, is offered in New York in collaboration with The Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research (IPTAR).

For the student interested in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, we offer a two-year program involving coursework and supervised counseling or therapy in New York. Applicants must hold a license in New York State such as a PhD, LMSW, LCSW, or be a Psychiatric Nurse Clinician, or hold a license that includes conducting psychotherapy in the scope of practice.

In addition, our one-year Fellowship Programs in New York and Washington are for people who are interested in learning about psychoanalysis and analytic training by attending case conferences and mentoring sessions with our Members.
