Conferences and continuous case seminars will be offered to broaden the student's clinical experience and further the integration of theoretical concepts with clinical practice. It is expected that candidates for adult psychoanalytic training will be exposed to the basic data of child analysis. There may be programs within applicant institutes for child and adolescent psychoanalytic training, which the Board will also accredit. It is recommended that candidates undertake the supervised analysis of at least three adult cases, with a required minimum of two adult cases, at an expected frequency of four or five times a week, with a minimum frequency of three times per week. It is required that a patient of each sex be treated in supervision except in special circumstances.
All supervision is to be conducted by supervising analysts duly accredited by the institute.
At least 200 hours of supervision are recommended with a required minimum of 150 hours of supervision. It is expected that one case be supervised through termination before or after graduation. When possible, it is recommended that candidates receive supervision from supervisors of different orientations and from supervisors of both sexes. It is considered proper educational policy that the candidate's personal analyst not be his supervising analyst. Since experience has shown that both training analysis and supervision benefit the candidate when concurrent, it is generally expected that the candidate be in analysis during a significant period of supervisory work.
