Abstract

I wrote this paper based upon my psychoanalytic training and the psychoanalytic literature at that time. However, after finishing the paper a book was published that described the training experience of mostly European candidates that was very different. Rather than rewrite the entire paper I have left it as it was originally written, but included the perspective of the candidates and the report from Department of Psychoanalytic Education of the American Psychoanalytic Association.
