Psychoanalytic Training

Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Center (PPC) offers a very individualized program (5-10 years) that consists of course work primarily offered on weekends and in the evenings. Many of our candidates (referring to students in the program) are very accomplished professionals with full-time careers.  PPC provides in-depth training to psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and other mental health professionals. PPC offers the only psychoanalytic training program in Western Pennsylvania that is accredited by the American Psychoanalytic Association.

Three Components to the Training

• The training analysis (every candidate goes through psychoanalysis to gain better insight into themselves)
• Coursed instruction in psychoanalysis (theory, technique, writing and electives)
• Supervised clinical work
