Students: Applicants for the initial year of this program (2008-09) will include non-licensed, recently graduated social workers or counselors interested in entering the psychotherapy field. Applicants are expected to have a patient population of their own, in a practice setting that is consistent with the values of the Institute. All applicants must have participated in, or agree to participate in the Institute’s Windows Into Psychotherapy Course (at an additional fee of $175 for this 7 week course) or the Advanced Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Program. In the provisional year, we project accepting 3 students.

Educational Program: Students are required to participate in training every Friday from 12-1:00 at the Institute. Students present cases on a quarterly basis at the Outpatient Diagnostic and Treatment Planning Seminar. Supervision Fellows are joined by members of the Schiele Clinic staff, STLPI practicum students, and 1st year analytic candidates for this rich learning experience. There will be two parts to the program seminars; they will alternate Fridays.

Outpatient Diagnostic and Treatment Planning Seminar: Designed to deepen understanding and importance of the diagnostic process of the initial interviews of outpatients and develop skills in choosing appropriate treatment. Specific areas of discussion will include:  The context of the initial interview  The dynamics of the initial diagnostic interview  Effective history taking strategies  Moving from history to diagnosis  Social and ethnic issues in diagnosis and treatment planning  Establishing effect treatment planning strategies  Matching patient to treatment strategy

Analyzability Conference: Designed to correlate theory and clinical practice in the evaluation of patients in arriving at recommendations for treatment modalities.

Supervision: An Institute faculty member or analytic candidate will provide weekly individual supervisory sessions at a time negotiated between the student and the supervisor. We estimate that students in this program will carry a 12 hour average weekly patient load; supervisors will address 1-2 cases over the program year in a manner that allows the student to apply techniques to the balance of their case load. Independent study assignments will be made, as appropriate, averaging 1-2 hours a week. Reading materials will be provided through the Institute’s Betty Golde Smith Library.

Program Fees: The Supervision Fellowship fee is $3900 a year which covers weekly classes, 48 individual supervisory sessions and at least 2 site visits. Special arrangements may be made to pay this fee annually, by semester ($1950), or quarterly ($975). Some scholarship funds may be available for those demonstrating need.

Applicants taking the Institute’s Advanced Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Program simultaneously with the Supervision Fellowship may make arrangements for a combined supervision program (48 individual sessions & 33 group sessions) for a combined tuition fee of $7300 annually. At this rate, the Institute will be providing training/supervision at $23 an hour in an attempt to keep the experience affordable for professionals new to the field.
