Psychoanalytic Training InstituteAdvisors
Each student will be assigned an advisor who will meet with the candidate at least once a year to discuss the overall training experience and any issues of concern, such as building a private practice. The Advisor’s position is intended to be a “non-reporting” one, although occasionally the Advisor may be asked to serve, at the candidate’s request, as ombudsman to facilitate communication in the Institute. Because some candidates are geographically at a distance, it may be necessary for the Advisor to maintain the relationship by telephone, Skype, or email.
