By Tamar SchwartzMay 27, 2021May 27, 2021 EVENTS

THE PSYCHOANALYTIC FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM Navah C. Kaplan, Ph.D. Director

The Psychoanalytic Fellowship is a free, one-year program at the New York Psychoanalytic Society & Institute designed to introduce participants to modern psychoanalytic theory and practice. Fellows attend seminars twice per month. In one seminar, invited analysts from our faculty present analytic case material and join the class discussion of the case. In the other seminar, discussion and readings are used to teach psychoanalytic principles that inform current expertise in psychoanalysis as a form of therapy, psychoanalysis as a model of how the mind works, and psychoanalysis as a method of investigating clinical data. Students will meet over ZOOM until the Institute administration allows for meeting in person.

Application to the Fellowship is open to candidates earning doctoral degrees in psychology and social work, residents and fellows in psychiatry, and licensed clinical social workers currently pursuing advanced training or experience in psychotherapy. July 15, 2021 is the deadline for applying for the academic year October 2021 – April 2022.

Interested persons should contact Dr. Navah Kaplan at navahckaplan@gmail.com to arrange a brief phone interview.
