The purpose of the Intensive Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program (IPPP) is to make available a concentrated, practice-oriented educational experience to working clinicians who wish to apply an interpersonal psychoanalytic perspective to their work with patients.

Preference will be given to licensed mental health professionals practicing psychotherapy, either privately or in institutional settings. Other Therapists possessing a different educational background or professional experience are encouraged to apply. Applicants familiarity with psychoanalytic thinking and personal experience in psychoanalytic treatment are considered in the admissions process.

Participants are required to carry malpractice insurance and to provide their own psychotherapy patients for supervision.

This one year program meets Thursday evenings from 7:15 pm - 10:00 pm for 14 weeks from September to December and another 14 weeks from February to May. A second session may be available on Monday evenings. A certificate is awarded upon successful completion of the program.

The IPPP consists of three components:
Clinical Seminars, Case Conferences, and Individual Supervision

The Case Conferences are also divided into 4 modules and follow the seminar curriculum, expanding and deepening the learning process with clinical material by the participants and instructors.

Individual weekly Supervision will be available in the private offices of the program faculty at a time to be arranged.

All faculty and supervisors are graduate psychoanalysts of the William Alanson White Institute.

All participants and graduates of IPPP are invited to the Institute’s open Tuesday morning Clinical Services Meetings and the White Society’s Colloquia.

The Program tuition is $2,600 which includes weekly supervision. Additional supervision, as well as personal psychoanalysis or psychotherapy, are available at moderate cost.
