UPCOMING EVENTS
The Westchester Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy (WCSPP) condemns the targeted and murderous shootings that ended the lives of eight people, six of them Asian women in the Atlanta area March 16. While the country debates whether such methodical carnage qualifies as “Hate Crime,” WCSPP—a New York area training institute for mental health practitioners—joins the groundswell of protest and outrage over this most recent, hideous display of what racism does. WCSPP stands in solidarity with all those who decry and deplore racism in all its forms.
It is our mission as psychoanalysts and as citizens of the world to combat discrimination and hatred of any and all kind. The events of last week are all too reminiscent of the murder last summer of George Floyd and of the countless less familiar and forgotten names of black lives lost to racist violence before and since. WCSPP continues its strongest efforts to build a psychoanalytic community whose values support inclusivity, safety and equality for all.
TRAINING AT WCSPP
If you are interested in learning more about contemporary psychoanalytic training options, please email one of our Directors of Admissions: Christopher Nardozzi, JD, LCSW (cnardozzi@gmail.com) or Susan Schwartz, PsyD (sbnspsyd@gmail.com). They can answer your questions and refer you to current or recently-graduated candidates to discuss ways psychoanalytic training will deepen your clinical work and can help you begin or grow a private practice.
LATEST NEWS
WCSPP Has Gone Online!
Although the current health situation has many of us homebound, Westchester Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy has successfully continued our commitment to provide scholarly training, supervision, clinical consultation and a psychotherapy service online.
Our current training classes are fully operational and continuing on schedule, as we have the ability to hold classes and educational programs remotely. In addition to the intellectual readings and the exploration of clinical cases, this format has only deepened our community connections. We are still offering CE credits for certain training programs and educational events as before.
WCSPP’s Directors of Admission are currently receiving applications for our Fall 2021 programs. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and are currently being accepted for the following programs:
- Foundations of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Training
- Advanced Psychoanalytic Training
- Child, Adolescent, Parent Psychotherapy Training
- Couples Psychotherapy Training
Our Admissions Directors are always available to answer questions and to speak with you about the programs.
