General Guidelines
  • Early in the first year of training each clinical candidate should choose one of the supervising analysts to supervise psychotherapy cases and later to be the supervisor of the first analytic case. (See above for the list of Supervising and Training Analysts.)
  • The supervisory fee varies and is negotiated between the candidate and supervisor.
  • Candidates are required to conduct a minimum of three cases under supervision. Each case must have a different supervisor. All three cases may be adults, or two cases can be adults, and one can be a child or adolescent.
  • Candidates are expected to analyze one low-fee case, the analytic fee to be determined by the candidate and supervisor with consideration of the patient’s ability to pay.
  • Both sexes should be represented in the caseload.
  • Patients must be seen a minimum of four times weekly.
  • It is expected that for each case supervision will begin at or before the start of the analysis.
  • Supervision sessions should be one hour per week throughout most of the analysis.
  • At least one case must be carried through to a satisfactory termination, with supervision continuing throughout the terminal phase.
  • A minimum of 200 total hours of supervision is required for graduation. Each of the three cases presented for graduation must have a minimum of 50 hours of supervision.
    •
    Case Reports
  • Candidates are responsible for advising the Administrator in writing regarding the beginning and ending dates for all cases in analysis.
  • Candidates are required to provide six-month summaries in June and December on every analytic case until graduation. This requirement applies to incomplete, interrupted and extra analytic cases, in addition to the three required qualifying cases.
  • Six-month summaries are to be discussed with the case supervisors and then submitted to the Administrator's office.
  • Candidates submit semi-annual reports to the Administrator, giving the frequency and number of hours of analysis for each case, with a notation of any changes in frequency. Candidates will receive a form to use for this report.
    •
    Representing Yourself as a Psychoanalyst
    Candidates may not represent themselves as psychoanalysts until they have been given permission to begin analysis with a case that is receiving supervision from a supervising analyst, and then only with the case(s) which they are analyzing under PECC supervision. Candidates may not advertise themselves as analysts before graduation.
