A Message from PANY

As we struggle with profound sadness and outrage following the tragedies that have befallen the black community, we stand in solidarity with the victims and with those who are expressing protest. We also wish for the safety of all as they do so. During this precarious time in our country, we strive to find ways to heal and come together. Most of all, we hope that we will find better ways to take care of each other.

Although psychoanalysis is typically seen as a treatment focused on the individual - the inner psychic workings of the person - it is also inherently a discipline focused on life. Ultimately, psychoanalysis is a therapy about the potential of living and about change. Our task is to help our patients encounter and activate the best within themselves, so that they may move towards creating a better future. As psychoanalysts we must stand with life.

Insights

PANY and COVID-19

During these difficult times, faculty and students at PANY have worked hard to keep going. PANY has continued its educational and admissions activities during the Coronavirus pandemic - including classes and case supervision for our students as well as video interviews for applicants to our training programs - via Zoom and other video and audio platforms. PANY will continue its classes when the new academic year starts in September, 2020. We have not yet decided if classes then will be via video or in-person.

As psychoanalysts, we believe in the importance of our work, in some ways especially so during these stressful times; and as hardy New Yorkers, we are committed to maintaining our presence as educators, psychoanalysts, and psychotherapists for the New York City community.

Please scroll down for more information about the admissions process for our psychoanalytic and psychotherapy training programs as well as for information about our consultation and treatment service for new patients.

Candidate Organized Event: “It’s not all Superego: The Importance of the Ego Ideal in Psychoanalytic Education.”

The Eitingon model of psychoanalytic education was created to implement rules and regulations for educating psychoanalysts. Inadvertently, this created a superego approach that has stifled and complicated training for a century. An ego ideal approach will be offered as a contrast and corrective.

Presenter: Alan Sugarman, PhD

No Choice but to Act: Psychoanalytic Thoughts on Bravery and Dissent

Psychoanalysis changes lives.

At a time when training in most mental health fields is focused on time limited biological and behavioral interventions, we believe in the importance of training clinicians to do in-depth work with patients, providing effective and durable results.

We believe in making affordable treatment available to the New York City community through our consultation and treatment service.

We are dedicated to providing the highest quality in psychoanalytic treatment and education.
