| Find a Good Low Fee Psychoanalyst
|
| How do I find a good low fee
psychoanalyst? |
Psychoanalytic institutes frequently offer low-fee psychoanalysis through
their clinics. The American
Psychoanalytic Association has a list of institutes on their web page.
Call an institute in the city in which you live and ask if they offer low
fee psychoanalyses. Often candidates, in psychoanalytic training, offer
low fee psychoanalysis. If you do not live in a major city, call the institute
nearest to you. They may have analysts and/or analysts-in-training in your
city.
| Should I see someone in training for
psychoanalysis? |
This is a good question. Often people assume that therapists,
in psychoanalytic training, are inexperienced. Typically, that is not the
case. To be elligible for psychoanalytic training, generally as a minimum,
one must complete: a doctorate in clinical psychology or counseling psychology,
a medical degree and a psychiatric residency, a masters in social work,
a masters in nursing and/or some other advanced mental health training.
Therefore, some times, psychologists, psychiatrists, social
workers and others, enter psychoanalytic training with significant experience. The best way to clarify your analyst's background is to ask about it directly.
