Jobs and Fellowships

Description
About MIP The Massachusetts Institute for Psychoanalysis (MIP) provides comprehensive psychoanalytic training and professional education for candidates, postgraduate fellows, scholars, and mental health clinicians. Our institute takes a comparative approach to psychoanalysis where a wide range of perspectives, ranging from classical to contemporary, come together in open, ongoing dialogue. Central to this inclusive approach, we emphasize expanding our understanding and practice to engage with an increasingly diverse range of patients.

The Training Program in Psychoanalysis is a 4-year course of study in comparative psychoanalysis, both theory and practice. In an atmosphere of continuous, open dialogue with each other, our hope is that candidates will learn several psychoanalytic paradigms and develop an understanding of the philosophical and historical assumptions underlying each. Through the shared experience of presenting clinical work, applying analytic technique, and through personal analysis, candidates will deepen their knowledge and valuing of psychoanalysis as an adaptable means of treatment to differing clinical situations.

Curriculum overview:
Each of the 12 semesters consists of two theory/content courses as well as a clinical seminar to discuss and present analytic work. The program is designed to immerse candidates in the evolving field of study that is contemporary psychoanalysis with a firm basis in the classical literature. Issues of race, culture, and gender have been integrated throughout our overall curriculum. This is part of our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion at MIP.

Requirements:

• MIP accepts applicants from five clinical disciplines: psychology, psychiatry, social work, mental health counseling, and psychiatric nursing.
• Applicants must be independently licensed in their field and good ethical standing.
• In addition, applicants from non-clinical disciplines with an interest in psychoanalysis are encouraged to apply to the Training Program in Psychoanalysis for Academics which is suitable for academics from multiple disciplines (e.g., philosophy, gender theory, sociology, history, etc).

Somatic Psychotherapy Group, LLC (SPG) is looking to hire a Psychotherapist/Social Worker to join our boutique group practice in Northampton, MA. We provide psychotherapy to adults individually and as couples in-person at our office located on Main Street and via video Teletherapy. Somatic psychotherapy is a holistic approach to integrating thoughts and emotions with embodied experience. Our experiential orientation aims to increase awareness beyond intellectual insight.
