Psychoanalytic Programs: Child & Adolescent Curriculum
Year Four
Year four will allow each candidate to focus on a single research oriented project. In the past, candidates have done both individual projects, have worked closely with a faculty on a project, or done a joint project collaboratively with other candidates. The work will culminate in a written piece of work, or a presentation. In the past, these projects have included a literature study of psychoanalytic research methods, detailed video observation of a daycare setting tracking the development of a single child, an extensive collaborative study of object constancy involving literature research, instrument development and testing of analytic material from actual cases, among other literature reviews stimulated by ongoing cases.
Child Continuous Case Conferences
Adolescent Continuous Case — 14 sessions
Child Psychoanalytic Faculty — 14 Sessions
Both a young child and an adolescent continuous case conference will be offered in Year Three.
Each conference will focus on a single ongoing case by a candidate.
