Becoming a Psychotherapist at MITPP

THE METROPOLITAN INSTITUTE FOR TRAINING IN PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY
and THE METROPOLITAN CENTER FOR MENTAL HEALTH
present

A SATURDAY HALF-DAY CLINICAL WORKSHOP

ON BECOMING A PSYCHOTHERAPIST
AND/OR
A LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST

SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 2008

This three-hour workshop will examine the shifts in thinking that are involved in becoming a psychotherapist.  The stance and orientation of the mental health therapist will be the primary focus.

If you are in a field unrelated to mental health and considering changing direction in your career, or expanding your options if you are already involved in a helping setting, it requires awareness of the what a “therapeutic” atmosphere consists of and what issues may be involved in aiding fellow human beings in feeling more productive and emotionally grounded.

This workshop will cover but not be limited to such topics as listening, supportive vs. insight oriented work, psychodynamic thinking, setting goals, and what constitutes change in a therapeutic relationship.  Clinical material from the instructor’s own experience will be used, and examples from the lives and work of participants will be welcome.

GENE YELLIN, L.C.S.W., is a Faculty member and Supervisor of the Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Adult and Child and Adolescent Programs and is on the Faculty of the Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service.
