Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis Inc is unique among both psychoanalytic institutes and graduate schools in offering regionally accredited degrees psychoanalysis culminating in the Doctor of Psychoanalysis degree (Psya.D.). This program combines full certificate training to become a psychoanalyst with academic and research studies leading to the doctorate. Throughout their doctoral studies students engage in academic coursework, clinical experience and supervision, research studies, and in a training analysis as they master and apply psychoanalytic concepts and understanding and develop themselves as therapeutic personalities. Graduates are prepared to practice as psychoanalysts as well as to teach, do research, and apply their knowledge to a broad range of endeavors. Innovative doctoral research projects add to knowledge in the field.
The doctoral program is organized in two levels. The first, Level A, provides an introduction to psychoanalytic theory, developmental studies, somatic factors, research methods, psychopathology and introduction to clinical work with regressed patients. Level A students engage in a three-semester fieldwork externship. The externship provides the opportunity to observe, under supervision, primitive mental states and extremes of pathology in severely regressed patients. Students without master’s degrees complete the Master of Arts or the Master of Arts in Psychoanalytic Counseling to fulfill Level A requirements.
Progressing from Level A to Level B requires successful completion of Level A coursework, the fieldwork externship and a qualifying exam. At the candidacy level, Level B, students study advanced theory, research and clinical studies while seeing three analysands in the Therapy Center under supervision. The candidate engages in minimally 150 hours of supervision, which includes two individual supervisions, minimally 50 hours each, one of which is the control supervision on one case. The candidate presents their work with cases to the clinical faculty at two points during their Level B training, once after 25 hours of control supervision and again at the end of their studies.
Research studies begin with coursework and continue as the student develops a research topic and begins to work with a research advisor and two other committee members on a proposal for the doctoral dissertation. The dissertation is an original research project which contributes to clinical understanding, theory development, evaluation of technique, or the application of psychoanalytic concepts or technique to another domain.
