* Advancing skills in doing exploratory / dynamic psychotherapy provides a major addition to a therapist's practice.
* Recent outcome research indicates that psychodynamic therapy is effective and that the benefits patients receive are enduring and even tend to grow with time.
* Psychoanalytic concepts provide an extensive and rigorous framework for doing treatment.
* Knowing how to engage patients in this sort of therapy helps develop and maintain a stable and satisfying practice.
PAPPTP, a program of the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis (SFCP), was established in 2007 to provide high quality psychoanalytic psychotherapy training for therapists in the Peninsula/South Bay region. In addition, the Program seeks to bring together psychoanalytically-oriented clinicians in a community of common interests. So far we have had three cohorts of students in our Two-Year Programs (see below), and we have now added a new Fellowship Year (click here for more information).
PROGRAM PRINCIPLES:
Recruiting top faculty locally and from the entire Bay Area.
Respect for all applicants, without regard to age, race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, or disability.
Helping students to develop, starting at their current level of experience and knowledge, in a supportive learning environment.
An integrative approach to psychoanalytic schools of thought in the classes and supervisory experiences.
