Candidates are taught, supervised, and mentored by select psychoanalysts from the Toronto Psychoanalytic Society, an affiliate of the International Psychoanalytic Association, which was founded by Freud and is the world's primary accrediting and regulatory body for psychoanalysis.
Two seminars of a combined duration of three hours are offered one night per week, for more than thirty weeks in each of the two years. One seminar focuses on the theoretical knowledge base that is essential for clinical work. The other is a clinical case seminar, which clarifies and applies the different theoretical ideas. Readings are carefully selected for each seminar and integrated into the teaching. To supplement the didactic courses, students treat several adults in long-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy with supervision from a psychoanalyst.
The curriculum is under constant review. There are regular and frequent opportunities for feedback between the candidates and the Student Progress Committee, the Education Committee, the Program Executive, the teachers, and the supervisors. Candidates submit twice-yearly case reports of their clinical work, which are carefully reviewed and responded to by the Student Progress Committee, providing another mechanism for candidates to get help with their clinical work. Finally, candidates are encouraged to take part in all the Society's educational and training events, including two half-day Scientific Meetings with invited speakers. |
