Our License Qualifying Program is designed to be fulfilled in five years.
The first year courses are specifically designed to introduce the candidate to the overall theory and clinical practice of psychoanalysis, and specifically Jung’s theories. There is a three-trimester course (Jungian Theory and Clinical Process) which serves as a thorough overview of the field, as well as classes on the DSM-IV and basic history of psychoanalysis. The first year is designed to prepare the candidate for clinical work, including discussion of ethics and scope of practice.
The second through fifth years continue in the study of theory and practice and include case seminars. Candidates begin to see a few analysands in the JPA New York State approved setting.
As enrichment to their training, LP candidates are encouraged to participate in the extracurricular learning activities of the JPA, such as the weekend long colloquia conferences, and elective courses.
