Fellowship Program

The Institute for Psychoanalysis, with cooperation of the Chicago Psychoanalytic Society is now accepting applications for its fellowship program for 2010-2011. The fellowships run for one year beginning in September and fellows will be selected in late summer.

The Institute Fellows program is open to advanced trainees and recent graduates in psychiatry, psychology, and social work who have significant interest in psychoanalysis as a body of knowledge and as a framework with which to understand and carry out therapeutic work.

The Institute Fellowship program will include:

An Institute faculty member will serve as a mentor for each fellow through the yearlong program. Mentors and fellows will meet at least monthly to discuss therapeutic issues, papers, research and any other topics relevant to the fellow.
Fellows will be welcome as guests to the scientific meetings held by the Chicago Psychoanalytic Society during the academic year, starting in September. Each mentor and fellow will be encouraged to read and discuss available papers and to attend the presentations together.
All fellows will be granted free admission to local conferences sponsored by the Institute for Psychoanalysis and the Chicago Psychoanalytic Society.
Each fellow will receive a copy of the Annual of Psychoanalysis and yearlong subscriptions to The American Psychoanalyst, the quarterly newsletter of the American Psychoanalytic Association, the Institute's Bulletin, and the Analytic Observer, published by the Society.

Qualified candidates interested in applying to be Institute Fellows should submit the following:

A short (no more than two pages) personal essay describing the development of your interest in psychoanalysis and the application of psychoanalytic concepts
Two letters of recommendation from faculty members or supervisors having direct knowledge of your therapeutic work with individuals
