The New York University Non-Credit Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis (“Postdoc”) is a vibrant, engaging community that values psychoanalytic pluralism, ongoing dialogue among the various psychoanalytic traditions, and respect for the candidate in analytic training as a mature adult, accomplished clinician and scholar. We have always believed that the best setting in which to pursue psychoanalytic training incorporating these principles is at a university with an established tradition of intellectual inquiry, freedom of thought, interdisciplinary exchange, and a commitment to research.
Our Psychoanalytic Training Program offers a diverse curriculum including Contemporary Freudian, Interpersonal, Relational, and Independent orientations, and is unique in offering comprehensive training in each of these approaches. Candidates in psychoanalytic training are encouraged to sample courses and supervisors from each of the orientations although they are also free to concentrate in any one of them. Each orientation features an internationally known teaching faculty and outstanding clinical supervisors who have made a significant contribution to the field of psychoanalysis.
Currently, with over 600 graduates, Postdoc is not only the largest psychoanalytic training program in New York, but in the entire country, and also offers Advanced Specialization in Trauma Studies and Couple & Family Therapy. The Postdoctoral Program was the first psychoanalytic training program to be fully accredited by The Accreditation Council for Psychoanalytic Education Inc.
