 OPEN HOUSE & CLINICAL PRESENTATION OPEN TO THOSE CONSIDERING POSTGRADUATE TRAINING with MITPP
By Categories: EVENTS, Psychoanalysis

THE METROPOLITAN INSTITUTE FOR TRAINING IN PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY:
OPEN HOUSE & CLINICAL PRESENTATION OPEN TO THOSE CONSIDERING POSTGRADUATE TRAINING
HOW CAN EXPERIENCE IN ANOTHER PROFESSION BE DEEPENED AND INTEGRATED THROUGH PSYCHOANALYTIC TRAINING?

Psychoanalytic training changes how a person understands relationships, motivation, emotion, conflict, and development, allowing previous professional experience to take on new meaning. This presentation explores how my earlier work as a jury and trial consultant informs — and contrasts with — my current work as a therapist trained in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. In jury selection, consultants must form quick, high-stakes impressions about potential jurors’ biases and decision-making tendencies, often within minutes and under significant time pressure. Psychoanalytic treatment, by contrast, requires a disciplined slowing down: tolerating uncertainty, suspending premature conclusions, and allowing meaning to emerge over time. This presentation will discuss how the shift from rapid evaluative judgment to sustained analytic listening reshaped my clinical stance, especially during my early training. Learning not to approach therapy like a one-day jury selection process — but instead as a gradual, unfolding inquiry — required developing patience and comfort with ambiguity. Drawing on examples from both Continue reading  OPEN HOUSE & CLINICAL PRESENTATION OPEN TO THOSE CONSIDERING POSTGRADUATE TRAINING with MITPP
