Program Description Provided by the Institution:

The School of Psychological Sciences [SoPS], University of Indianapolis, Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology [PsyD] is fully-accredited by the American Psychological Association.  The SoPS also has a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology [MA] program that leads to eligibility for licensure in the state of Indiana as a Mental Health Counsellor. 

 

The doctoral program requires all students to take an introductory course in psychoanalytical theories and psychotherapy.  A course in short-term psychotherapy and crisis intervention is required, and is taught from entirely psychoanalytical perspectives.  Students receive a firm grounding in Freudian perspectives, as well as object-relations theories, and self-psychology.  An introduction to Lacan is also offered.  More psychoanalytically-oriented electives include: Advanced Projective Assessment; Psychoanalytical Treatment of Borderline Personality Organisation; Psychoanalytical Treatment of Psychosis; and Clinical Hypnosis.  Instructors include fully certified psychoanalysts, as well as psychoanalytically-oriented faculty.  Indianapolis has a very active local Chapter of Division 39 [Psychoanalysis] of the American Psychological Association which holds monthly meetings.  Students would be able to receive personal psychoanalysis or psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy during their course of study with one of several psychoanalysts or many psychoanalytically-oriented clinicians in the Indianapolis area.  Additionally, the SoPS, in association with the Indiana Society for Psychoanalytical Thought, has provided continuing education programming with nationally and internationally recognised psychoanalysts on a yearly basis.
