The Integrated Training Track (ITT) in Adult, Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis
The Integrated Training Track was established with the understanding that study of and work with infants, children and adolescents can greatly inform and enrich psychoanalytic work with adults as well as be richly rewarding and professionally enhancing in itself.
Candidates in Adult Psychoanalytic Training at IPTAR have the option to undergo simultaneous training in child psychoanalysis through the Integrated Training Track. In addition to the adult psychoanalytic curriculum, candidates in the Integrated Training Track take additional courses in IPTAR’s Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy Program, courses in child psychoanalysis, a year-long infant observation seminar, and see two child psychoanalytic cases supervised by child analysts.
Once requirements for the Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy Program are completed, an interim certificate in Child Psychotherapy can be obtained. A certificate in Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis is conferred upon completion of the ITT requirements. Graduates of the ITT are graduates of both the Adult and Child Psychoanalytic Programs and are qualified for listing as both adult and child psychoanalyst of the International Psychoanalytic Association. They are also qualified for membership in the Association for Child Psychoanalysis.
