Fellowship in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy

The Kentucky Psychoanalytic Institute (KPI) offers a year-long Fellowship in Psychoanalysis for practicing clinicians and graduate/postgraduate students in clinical and counseling psychology, social work, marriage and family therapy and psychiatry. The KPI fellowship is designed to address the needs of students who are interested in learning about psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

KPI faculty and advanced candidates serve as mentors and teachers.  Each fellow has an opportunity to meet monthly throughout the academic year with an assigned mentor to discuss readings, clinical material, and other topics of interest.  Additionally, the fellow will come together as a group to meet 8-9 times per year for seminars led by KPI mentors.  Typically, the Fellowship Program begins in October at a kick-off brunch for mentors and fellows.  Group seminars take place monthly, October through May, and an end-of-the-year event is held in June celebrating the end of the training experience.

Interested applicants are asked to submit a current CV along with a personal statement that explains their interest in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic theory and therapy. Applications for the 2010-11 academic year will be accepted beginning May 1, 2010, and must be received by June 30, 2010. Applications for each academic year are read in July, with notification of acceptance following soon thereafter.  There is no charge for participation.

Applicants should email completed materials to Dr. Kaveh Zamanian at kzamanian@mac.com
