The New Haven Psychoanalytic Research Training Program
The Anna Freud Centre program at the Yale Child Study Center sponsors an annual New Haven Psychoanalytic Research Training Program. Modeled on the successful IPA-sponsored summer Research Training Program at University College London, the New Haven program provides opportunities for scholars interested in psychodynamic perspectives to meet with experienced investigators. A central part of the experience is the opportunity for fellows to present and discuss their own research projects and research goals with members of the faculty and other participants. Fellows have an opportunity to refine their research questions and to meet other fellows from around the U.S. and the world. Relationships among the fellows and between the fellows and faculty flourish and continue through ongoing consultations and collaborative studies. There is a remarkable and exciting synergy between clinicians drawing from their years of clinical experience and experienced investigators trying to ask more clinically relevant questions.

• Key Elements of the Program
• Individual consultations between fellows and faculty
• Presentations by fellows of their clinical observations, beginning questions, research designs or intriguing early data
• Presentations by faculty about their research and the challenges they encounter in their work
• Clinical-research integration with practicing psychoanalysts as members of the training faculty
• Post-training program follow-up through ongoing faculty and fellow consultation, joining a network of “RTP Graduates”
• Submitting posters to the APsaA and other annual meetings, and regular fellow reunions
