Training in Adult Analysis
We welcome applicants for our four year training in adult analysis.
The programme combines a theoretical programme with a requirement of personal analysis, and will equip the analyst to work with adults in in-depth analysis up to a frequency of 4 or 5 times per week.
Personal analysis must be undertaken with a Training Analyst or Professional Member of this Society.
Each trainee is assigned a personal tutor with whom they will meet, usually each term, to discuss the progress of their training.
Entry Requirements
- A degree or degree equivalent;
- A relevant professional qualification is an advantage;
- Personal analysis for a minimum of 150 sessions with the same analyst at a frequency of 4 or 5 times weekly immediately prior to application. Personal analysis must be undertaken with a Training Analyst or Professional Member of this Society. Analysis with Members of other Societies or with Trainees is not acceptable;
- Experience of working in the field of psychotherapy with at least two patients out of a broad caseload for a minimum of one year, under supervision.
