Alvin Robbins, M.D. from the San Diego Psychoanalytic Institute, chairs this sub-committee of the American Psychoanalytic Association. He and members of his committee will sit in on classes, attend committee meetings of our institute, and sit in on supervised case presentations. They will report back our strengths and weaknesses. This will give us an opportunity to reflect on what we are doing both from our perspective as well as from an outside point of view. According to Alan Stern, Ph.D., Director of the UNC-Duke Program, it is hoped that another first year class will be starting in September 1999.
Classes start every two years with a minimum of five people.
Applications are now being accepted for the class of '99. Graduated analysts teach classes with advanced candidates assisting. Alan Stern, Ph.D. is the current Director of the Program. His three-year tenure began in June of this year. He has promised to write about his hopes for the Institute as well as about the feedback from the COI in our next quarterly issue.
