Baltimore psychoanalytic institute

Disclosure information is on record indicating that participating faculty members have no significant financial relationships to disclose. The Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. The Baltimore Washington Society for Psychoanalysis maintains responsibility for this program and its content.

All candidates are encouraged to attend and participate in the scientific meetings of the Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis. Training Analysis To be eligible to begin first-year courses in September, a candidate will ideally have been in analysis with a training analyst since the previous October; there is flexibility in this requirement, with variations based on individual circumstances.

All newly admitted candidates, including those transferring from other Institutes, are required by the American Psychoanalytic Association to be in psychoanalysis with a training analyst approved by the Institute. Where required by geographic considerations, we will assist the candidate in making other arrangements.

A successful training analysis is fundamental to the candidate's training and a required achievement, but the training analysis is entirely confidential and the training analyst does not report to the Institute, except for the start date and completion date. A high degree of character stability and maturity are essential goals of the training analysis.

The achievement by the candidate of a level of personality functioning suitable to a career in the practice of psychoanalysis will be assessed by the candidate's supervised analyses, case presentations, and participation in Institute seminars.

It is generally expected that a considerable portion of the candidate's supervised clinical work will be concurrent with the training analysis.

The Washington Baltimore Psychoanalytic Institute is committed to providing affordable training analyses for candidates. The fee for a training analysis should be negotiated between training analyst and prospective candidate analysand.

A candidate having difficulty finding an affordable analysis should contact the Director of the Institute.
