AIMS OF THE TRAINING
: This course is based upon experience of clinical work with
emotionally disturbed adults. The course follows the standards
recommended by the International Psychoanalytical Association
(IPA). The Indian Psychoanalytical Society (IPS) is a component
society of the IPA. Completion of the training leads to professional
qualification as a psychoanalyst.
The qualified psychoanalyst is then registered with the IPS
and the IPA as a full member. Membership in the IPA also means
that the qualified analyst would have international registration
and technically be recognised worldwide. Becoming a full member
includes voting rights only after writing reasonably acceptable
papers of 8,000 to 10,000 words based on the clinical experience
of each of the two training cases.

Content and Methods
: The interested applicant is first expected to fill in an application
form provided by the Training Committee. The student is required
to be in personal analysis 4-5 times a week with a Training
Analyst of the IPS from the time he/she has been accepted for
the course. In case the student is a fresh applicant, i.e. not
in personal analysis with a Training Analyst for at least a
year, he/she must have personal analysis with a Training Analyst
for at least a year before registration can be considered with
the Indian Psychoanalytical Society. During this period of provisional
acceptance, a student need have little contact with the Training
Organisation. Registration is initiated by the student's Training
Analyst after discussion with the student.
After Registration, the student is offered the following facilities:
- Use of library facilities
- Block subscription at reduced rates to the International
Journal of Psychoanalysis
- Allocation of a Student Progress Advisor
At the beginning of the next academic year (July), the student
will begin Baby Observation Seminars and Psychoanalytical Theory
Seminars. The analytic trainee will attend the weekly Baby Observation
Seminars for the first year and the fortnightly Psychoanalytical
Theory Seminars for the first and second years (Freud in the
first year and Klein in the second year).
At the end of the 2 years of personal analysis, Baby Observation
Seminars and Psychoanalytical Theory Seminars, the student will
be expected to treat 2 adult patients 4-5 times a week along
with weekly supervision for each case by 2 different supervisors.
Each of these 2 cases will be expected to be seen for at least
2 years. However, the final outcome will be decided in consultation
with the supervisor. At the same time the student will continue
with more advanced theory and clinical seminars. The full course
should, therefore, take approximately 5 years before qualification.
The personal analysis will continue at least till qualification.
Students who are seeing training cases will be required to attend
certain specified seminars. Students are required to attend
weekly Clinical Seminars and weekly Advanced Theory Seminars
during the entire duration of the training.

Suitability :
Minimum requirement for admission is a University degree (or
suitable substitute). The applicant will first have an informal
meeting with either of the joint secretaries of the Training
Committee to find out about the requirements and costs of the
training. Subsequently, interviews will be arranged with 2 psychoanalysts.
If accepted the applicant will make arrangements to start his
personal analysis with a qualified Training Analyst. The personal
analysis is kept private to the student. His/her analyst will
be asked if the student can be registered as a student with
the IPS in Calcutta. His/her analyst will then be asked if the
student is ready to take adult cases under supervision, and
finally if there's any objection to his/her qualifying.
