Psychodynamic Psychotherapy for Trainees

For the first time, the Western New England Psychoanalytic Society is offering a year-long course on psychodynamic psychotherapy for trainees. In an agreement with the Yale Department of Psychiatry, the course will be a requirement for residents at the CMHC in their PGY-3 year. We will accept other trainees in the Yale Department of Psychiatry, up to a class size of 10. The class will meet on Tuesdays from 5-6 PM at the Institute building throughout the academic year. The recommended text is The Art of Psychotherapy by Anthony Storrs (Routledge, 1979). The course coordinator is Dr. Marshal Mandelkern, MD
