Alfred Adler Series at the 92nd Street Y

PLEASE NOTE: New York State has created four new LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH professions:

1. Psychoanalysis
2. Mental Health Counseling
3. Marriage and Family Therapy
4. Creative Arts Therapy

The State has established standards for licensing these professions. We anticipate that graduates of the Alfred Adler Institute of New York will meet the standards for sitting for the State licensing examination for Psychoanalysis and for Mental Health Counseling.

ADVANCED CERTIFICATE IN PSYCHOANALYSIS

This program is the premiere program of the Institute designed to prepare students to become Adlerian psychoanalysts and therapists. It combines a solid base of Adlerian theory and practice to prepare students for professional practice. Students of varied backgrounds are successful because of small class sizes, supportive environment and individualized attention. It may be completed in 3-10 years, with most students taking 4-5 years. Admission is open to qualified individuals with a minimum of a masters degree. Students would then complete academic coursework, personal analysis, research papers, examinations, work with clients and supervision. After being awarded the Advanced Certificate, if appropriate requirements are met, a graduate may apply for registration as a member of the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis and may apply to sit for the licensing examination in psychoanalysis in New York State.

We are in the process of applying to be a Registered Educational program in Psychoanalysis

PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATE IN CONTINUING EDUCATION

This program is for already qualified mental health professionals who want to study the fundamentals of Adlerian theory and practice. Students complete one year of studies (which may be spread out over a maximum of four years) to supplement their existing professional training. Students who complete the Professional Certificate may choose to continue in the Advanced Certificate Program.

CERTIFICATE IN COMMUNITY EDUCATION

Community students are admitted to study the fundamentals of Adlerian theory and to understand its application in their daily lives. Students complete one year of course work for this certificate. This program is especially relevant to a wide range of community members including clergy, people in the field of education and those simply desiring to know more.

Workshops and Series

The Institute regularly offers workshops (and series of workshops) both on its own and in collaboration with other community groups. These are open to anyone who has the background needed for the particular offering. Custom offerings can be designed on request.

Other topics will be presented based on faculty interest and expressed need from the community.

If you are interested in any of our programs, you may obtain more information by contacting the Institute by mail, email or phone. All certificate programs have a formal admission process during which prospective students will be given more information and guidance. In keeping with our mission, tuition and fees are intentionally kept reasonable.
