Criteria for Applicants

KPI accepts application without regard to age, ethnic background, nationality, race, religion, disability, sex, or sexual orientation.  Any mental health professional, with a minimum of a master's degree from an accredited college or university, who can legally practice in Kentucky and whose training has been in psychology, psychiatry, social work, divinity, counseling, family and marital therapy, or expressive therapy may apply to KPI.

Prior to certification, each candidate must complete the graduate degree prerequisite to practice as an independent mental health professional in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.  The Training Committee must approve exceptions to this requirement.
KPI maintains the right to deny admission to individuals who fail to show evidence of having the potential to complete the program. 

KPI also maintains the right to dismiss any candidate who fails to meet the standards of psychoanalytic training or personal development. Admission and dismissal rest with KPI, which cannot be held liable for such actions.

Admission Procedures

Individuals who wish to become candidates in KPI must complete the application and interview process.  Application forms are available from KPI.  Upon receipt and review of the completed application, a member of the Admissions Committee notifies the applicant of interview dates, and subsequently of the decision made by the Committee.  An individual applying for admission must have a master's degree from an accredited college or university before he or she may be accepted as a candidate.
