Training Institute Individual Programs Director: Anna Keefe, Ph.D. The training Institute offers three integrated training programs:
Each program is integrated with the program that follows it. The Basic Concepts in Psychotherapy program may be taken on a non-matriculated or matriculated basis. The programs in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis may only be taken on a matriculated basis. Introduction Matriculated students, in addition to taking the academic classes and group supervision, will see up to 8 patient hours at the T.I.C.C., they will have one hour of individual supervision per week and must be in personal analysis when they begin seeing patients. In exchange for the clinical hours donated to the T.I.C.C., matriculated students do not pay for supervision or tuition (Training Institute Fellowship System). These students do pay an annual registration fee of $100 and, of course, pay for their own personal analysis. Students who begin training as non-matriculated students, may apply for matriculation by January of their first year. If they are accepted the prorated balance of their tuition will be waived. At this point they will also have to meet the additional requirement of a matriculated student as described above. Students completing the Basic Concepts in Psychotherapy program in a non-matriculated status will receive a Letter of Completion at the end of the academic year. Students completing the Basic Concepts in Psychotherapy program with a matriculated status, as long as they have been accepted into matriculation no later than February 1st, will be given credit for the first year of the three year program in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. The following fall they will begin the second year of training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. Students who successfully meet the various requirements of the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy program will graduate at the end of their third year. At that time T.I.C.C. patients may continue to see the graduate at the graduate's private office on a fee for service basis. Students interested in applying to the Program in Psychoanalysis should advise the Director of Training in January of their third year. If they are accepted in the Program in Psychoanalysis and meet the program requirements their T.I.C.C. patients will be transferred to them as private patients after graduation. In general students in the Program in Psychoanalysis should plan to move to their own private office for their final two years of training. Supervision: In addition to the Group Supervision that is an integral part of the first year, students who are matriculated into the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program will have one individual hour of supervision per week during their first year. In the second and third year of the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy program and the fourth and fifth year of the Psychoanalysis program students will have two intensive supervisory sessions per week, one of overall supervision and one of intensive supervision/analytic control. A minimum of 30 months of supervision as specified is required for graduation in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and 50 months for graduation in Psychoanalysis. Overall supervision is individual supervision which covers the student's entire case load. Its purpose is to oversee the student's total clinical performance and the handling of administrative responsibilities. Intensive supervision (analytic control) is individual supervision which is focused on one, or, at most, a few selected cases. First year supervisors are assigned. Thereafter they are selected by the student in accordance with the Training Institute's guidelines. Personal Analysis Requirement:
Personal Analysis must be with an analyst who meets the standards of the Training Institute. Students seeking admission who wish to receive credit for prior analytic treatment will need to verify both the credentials of the analyst and the number and frequency of sessions. Clinical Experience: there is no clinical experience requirement for non-matriculated students in the Basic Concepts in Psychotherapy Program. The clinical experience requirement for matriculated students in the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program is eight patient hours per week which may begin as early as September of their first year, but not later than February of that academic year. As many patients as possible should be seen twice a week during training. The clinical experience requirement for the Psychoanalysis program is also eight patient hours per week with as many patients as possible being seen three times per week. The student must make eight patient hours per week available to the T.I.C.C. during training. They may, however, see their T.I.C.C. patients in their private office with the permission of the Director of Clinical Services. Comprehensive Exam: There is a comprehensive exam at the end of the second academic year. This exam is a feedback and assessment device for both the Institute and the student. Case Presentation: There is a final case presentation required in both the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis program. The specific requirements vary depending on the program. More information is available in the Case Presentation guideline. Certificate: Students successfully completing the Basic Concepts in Psychotherapy Program will receive a Letter of Completion from the Training Institute. Students successfully completing the requirements of the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program will receive a Certificate in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. Students successfully completing the requirements of the Psychoanalysis Program will receive a Certificate in Psychoanalysis. Requirements for the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis Program include personal analysis, supervision, academic course work, clinical internship, community practicum, case presentation and state certification or license in medicine, nursing, psychology or social work. In addition to the requirements listed above, students must demonstrate that they possess both the personal and professional integrity to practice as independent practitioners.

Psychoanalysis Program
Group Therapy Program Director: Albert J. Brok, Ph.D., C.G.P. Overview The Group and Couples Therapy Department offers training in various modalities of group and couples therapy to professionals certified/licensed in social work, psychology, nursing or medicine. Group training, which normally takes two years, leads to a certificate in group therapy. Couples therapy training normally takes one year and leads to a certificate in couples therapy. A two year specialty program in the supervision of group therapy is open to graduates of qualified group therapy programs and can lead to a certificate and appointment as a supervisor in the Group Department. In addition, students who are advanced professionals but are not certified/licensed in social work, psychology, psychiatric nursing or psychiatry are qualified to receive a certificate of attendance. Our courses emphasize the significance of a psychodynamic understanding of group interaction, the importance of appropriate diagnosis for successful group treatment, the use of the therapist's self, the value of combined therapy and the selective use of group modalities tailored to specific treatment situations. Special aspects of the program include exposure to leading practitioners and the opportunity to do individual tutorial work with a faculty member. There are special workshops and seminars throughout the year and the Group Department also sponsors an annual two-day conference for mental health professionals in which our students participate. In addition, a one-day annual conference on couples therapy is sponsored by the department as well as special courses and seminars. The curriculum consists of seminars, courses, supervision, tutorials and workshops, any of which may be taken individually and credited towards the number of "course units" required for certification. Courses meet on Tuesday evenings and may also be available at alternative times during the week in New York City and Westchester. An application for admission to the Group and Couples Therapy Program may be obtained by contacting the Training Institute. Specialty Areas Within the Group Department In addition to core psychodynamically oriented group courses, students may choose from an array of specialized focused seminars in such areas as: Adolescent Group work, Couples Treatment, Short-term focused groups, ACOA and other specialty groups.
Supervision of the Psychotherapeutic Process Director: Maureen Sennott, M.S.W. The Institute offers a two-year program in the supervision of the therapeutic process. Eligibility. This program is designed for those who are already psychoanalysts or qualified psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapists. Purpose. To provide specific training in supervision. The training one receives in becoming a psychoanalyst does not address the teaching function specific to supervision. As a supervisor, one's responsibility becomes the growth and development of the therapist in training. Program Requirements:
The goal of these requirements is to provide the opportunity for the integration of theory and practice. We hope to promote the development of the supervisory style and the development of practical teaching techniques. Certification. A certificate in Supervision of the Psychotherapeutic Process will be awarded to students who satisfactorily complete the program.
Psychotherapy with
the Generations of the Holocaust and Related Traumas Co Directors: Albert J. Brok, Ph.D., Eva Fogelman, Ph.D. In 1984 the Training Institute, in cooperation with the International Network of Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, began a program to train mental health professionals and other interested persons in counseling with Holocaust Survivors and the second generation. In order to meet the changing needs of mental health professionals, group leaders, and interested lay persons, the format has evolved into the current program in Psychotherapy with the Generations of the Holocaust and Related Groups. The program co-sponsors, with Child Development Research, the annual Milton Kestenberg Memorial Lecture on psychological issues related to the generations of the Holocaust and other traumatized populations. In addition, it periodically sponsors workshops, seminars, brief
courses, and treatment supervision groups for mental health professionals,
people with special interests in this area and the general public.
Some past presentations have included Morality and Altruistic
Behavior: Issues in Being Kind, Just and Responsible: Children of
Holocaust Survivors in the 1990s; and Memory and Healing
for the Post-Holocaust Generation. Further information on this year's programs may be obtained by writing to Howard Kogan, C.S.W., Director of Training in c/o the Institute.
Basic Concepts in Psychotherapy
Program The Basic Concepts in Psychotherapy Program is a one year program designed to meet the needs of the recent graduate, professionals who would like a survey of contemporary psychodynamic concepts, understanding, and techniques, and those who are assessing their interest and motivation before entering a more intensive analytic training program. The program features seven courses that are psychodynamic in concept, practical and clinically focused. It also offers on-going group supervision over the entire year that will give students an opportunity to discuss their own cases. This program may meet professional standards for Continuing Education Credits and supervisory hour requirements. Please check with your professional organization or governing authority. All courses will meet from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. Group supervision will meet the same evening from 7:35 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The program meets from September through May. An application for admission to the Basic Concepts in Psychotherapy Program may be obtained by contacting the Training Institute. Application fee is $25. A Certificate in Basic Concepts in Psychotherapy will be awarded to students who successfully complete the program.
Communication
Disorders and Adult Learning Disabilities Program In response to the need for clinical facilities in the metropolitan area devoted to the assessment and treatment of communication disorders and adult learning disabilities the Training Institute for Mental Health has established special services and a training program related to this segment of our patient population. We will be serving those with functional communication disorders that range from dysfluent speech (stuttering) and voice disorders to those who feel they lack effective communication skills. In the area of adult learning disabilities, the range of individuals seen would cover those with learning problems which have a neuropsychological etiology with related characterological issues to those who exhibit learning blocks, underachievement, difficulties in career advancement and attention deficit disorders. In addition to mental health services for people with communication disorders and learning disabilities, i,e., counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and group therapy, the Institute can also provide referrals for pharmacological evaluation. Those individuals who would like education therapy for a specific lag of a particular learning skill, e.g. reading comprehension, can also be seen by an educational therapist at the Training Institute. Training in this specialized area is offered to interested candidates in our psychoanalytic training programs through a series of workshops. These are focused on sensitizing the candidate to the diagnostic and etiological complexities of these problems as well as the various therapeutic approaches which have been found helpful to these patients.
Continuing Education Department The Continuing Education Department of the Training Institute offers a variety of one-day workshops and on-going courses to physicians, psychologists, social workers, psychiatric nurses, guidance and rehabilitation counselors, teachers, clergy and related mental health professionals. Workshops are designed to explore various treatment modalities and therapeutic techniques and to assist the practitioners' efforts to keep current with new developments in the field of mental health. Past workshops have included Psychopharmacology, Working with the Difficult Patient, Couples Therapy: The Search for Intimacy, Clinical and Theoretical Perspectives in the Treatment of Depression, Treatment Issues in Psychotherapy with the Elderly, Treatment of the Borderline Personality, and Psychotherapy with Latency Age Children. The workshop faculty is drawn from a variety of specializations and reflect differing schools of treatment. The yearly program of workshops is sent to our mailing list and
upon request. For further information about any other aspect of our training programs contact the training institute and request our full bulletin of training programs. You can also email us at: tifmh@earthlink.net.
