 Training Programs

Cincinnati Psychoanalytic Institute

Advanced Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Program (APP)

The Advanced Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Program is a two year post-graduate training program comprised of two components: weekly coursework and clinical consultation. The curriculum includes an introduction to historical and contemporary psychoanalytic theory and concepts, psychodynamic understandings of development and psychopathology, and a focused approach to technique regarding assessment and intervention. Additionally, students will participate in a weekly clinical conference.

Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy Program (CAPP)

The Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy Program provides participants with exposure to concepts that inform psychodynamic therapy with children and adolescents. The program includes an in-depth exposure to concepts from psychoanalytic understandings of development and psychopathology as they apply to children and adolescents. There are two weekly courses—one didactic course and one clinical conference. In order to obtain the maximal benefit, it is recommended that participants enroll in all four semesters of the program sequentially, along with weekly case consultation.

Adult Training Program (ATP)

The Adult Training Program is a five year post-graduate training program comprised of three components: personal training analysis, treatment of three psychoanalytic patients, and a curriculum of study. Through weekly consultation, candidates observe how they integrate their personal analysis with the didactic and clinical work. The process assists in the development of each candidates unique capacity to do analytic work. The five year curriculum focuses on theories of development, psychopathology, clinical theories and case conferences.
