The Psychoanalytic Fellowship sponsored by the
Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia is an academic honor awarded to
individuals in the academic (i.e. philosophy, literature the arts, etc.),
psychiatric, psychological or social work community who show outstanding
interest in psychoanalytic studies. The one-year Fellowship is highly
selective; therefore applicants are carefully screened by the committee. A
second year of Fellowship is available to Fellows for further study. There
is no application fee.
The Fellowship includes exposure to psychoanalytic
concepts through discussion with psychoanalytic mentors. The mentors are
selected from the membership of the Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia.
Each Fellow has defined a specific focus of study for the year, and will
meet monthly with the mentors to study and discuss selected specific topics
during the year.
The Fellowship has three tracks:
1.
An academic track for non-clinical scholars and academics.
2.
A clinical track for psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers.
3.
An honorary track to recognize academic leaders who have worked
collaboratively with psychoanalysts in education, clinical or research
areas. This track does not include formal mentorship.
The Fellowship emphasizes our Center and
psychoanalysis as a valued resource to the academic and clinical
communities. We want to enrich the Fellows' views and knowledge about
psychoanalysis and enrich ourselves by their presence.
In addition to the mentorship, the Fellows are
invited to attend classes in the Adult and Child Psychotherapy Training
Programs, courses and programs in the Alliance for Psychoanalytic Thought,
and Scientific Sessions.
