FEES, PAYMENT, AND CME/CE CREDITS POLICY

ELIGIBILITY
These programs are designed for psychotherapists seeking further education in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Registration is for either a seminar series combined with a continuous case conference (San Francisco), or a seminar series not combined with a continuous case conference (East Bay and Peninsula), or for an individual course. Participants in treatment with one of the instructors should inquire about the opportunity to take a comparable course in one of the other programs.

READERS
Charges for reading material required for the seminars are not included in tuition. They are based upon copyright laws and change based on the content of the readers. The charges will be billed to you separately. Please submit your registration and your tuition payment two weeks in advance in order to receive reading materials before the course starting date.

CLASS SIZE
Registration for yearlong programs will be limited to the first 16 applications received. This limitation reflects a belief in the unique importance of small working groups for continuing professional development.

PAYMENT
Payment may be made by check or credit card. We do not accept installment payments; however, we do offer a layaway plan in which you can make payments ahead of time toward the program you are interested in.
