Each year there are almost 100 applicants. We accept 40. Each applicant has two interviews.(Please tell me if you are available to do an 45 minute interview.)The applicants are getting better and better. We invite half the best Basic Training graduates to the Advanced Training
This year there are two fifth year electives: Infant Observation and How To Do Supervision. In the spring and next year we will have a number of 5-10 session electives on specific topic. If you are interested in teaching such an elective, please contact Daniel Yu d.yu.lcsw@gmail.com
SUPERVISION
There are more than 120 students in once a week supervision. Students in the Supervision Training course are supervising second year students. We need superisors for the incoming students. Please volunteer Contact Cathy Siebold<csiebolddsw@gmail.com>
TREATMENT
56 patients in 3-5 session/week analysis
69 patients in 1-2 session/week psychotherapy
The students now pay a minimum fee of $30/session. They are wonderful patients. Please contact Lana FishkinMDlanafishkinmd@gmail.com to sign up to treat. I think, I do not know for sure, that we may have the largest psychodynamic and psychoanalytic treatment program in the world

A great success. We were able to go to Tibet. Next year there will be a special 2-3 days for child analysts and therapists. Stay tuned
