Program Overview

The Cleveland Psychoanalytic Center has offered programs in psychoanalytic psychotherapy for over 25 years. Students and clinicians learn to apply psychoanalytic ideas in a variety of clinical settings with a wide range of clients and patients.

Our one-year Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program is designed for practitioners who are eager to learn the principles and practice of psychoanalytic psychotherapy to enhance their clinical skills and deepen their work. The program offers a theoretical beginning with clinically relevant readings and case vignettes. In addition, participants will study child development and its applicability to psychoanalytic psychotherapy with adults. The course will cover important aspects of psychotherapy from the first phone call through termination. We will address assessment, case formulation, the therapeutic relationship, and technique. Prior students have found it helpful to have current clinical experience with which to integrate the coursework. The PPP is a course in post-graduate study and not a training program in psychoanalysis.

All students enrolled in the course are strongly encouraged to be in supervision. Many of our former students have affirmed the importance of supervision and its usefulness in enhancing the didactic experience. We will help connect students with psychoanalytic supervisors.

Tuition includes a PEPWeb subscription and free or reduced fee admission to continuing education events as well as an invitation to join the Cleveland Psychoanalytic Center at the PPP Student rate of $75.
