Designed for professionals who want to become a practicing psychoanalyst and develop a richer understanding of historical and current psychoanalytic perspectives, which they can apply to their work and personal lives.
Program Overview
In four years of weekly seminars (60 per program year), a personal training psychoanalysis, in on-going case conferences, and in clinical supervision of three psychoanalysts, our community of students and faculty come together to explore aspects and applications of the psychoanalytic field. Training initially is part-time, and over time becomes fully integrated into one’s career.
The CPC welcomes inquiries about psychoanalytic training from prospective students with diverse educational and professional backgrounds. We will start a new class when there is an appropriate number of candidates accepted in a cohort but any questions regarding qualifications, transfer of existing training credits, or the PTP training can be directed to Vera Camden at vcamden@kent.edu
Tuition includes a PEPWeb subscription and free or reduced fee admission to continuing education events. Membership to the Cleveland Psychoanalytic Center is also included with tuition.
