ONE YEAR INTRODUCTORY PROGRAM
The TRISP One Year Introductory Program is designed for those interested in learning what self psychology and the theory of intersubjectivity contribute to a contemporary understanding of people, their behavior, and their inner experience. It is open to clinicians as well as a general audience; accordingly, no license is required for this program.
The complete program consists of four courses: two required courses and two electives. The required courses are an introduction to the key concepts of self psychology in the first semester, followed by an introductory course on the theory of intersubjectivity in the second semester. The elective courses are chosen from a pool of special topic course offerings, ranging from a self-psychological understanding of trauma to the self psychology of everyday life. Candidates design individualized programs based on personal preference and availability of courses. In addition, candidates participate in TRISP community workshops given twice a year.
The required courses are offered at two different times to accommodate different schedules: the evening class meets on Wednesdays at 7:30 PM and the daytime class meets on Fridays at 10:00 AM. Elective courses are offered on select days of the week at select times of the day. Candidates may choose to take one course per semester, (initially one of the required courses), or several courses (required and one or more electives). All classes are held in private offices in Manhattan.
Upon successful completion of the TRISP One Year Introductory Program, a candidate may continue to take elective courses from the pool of elective course offerings. These offerings will be expanded based on requests from the pool of candidates and faculty interest.
Alternatively, a candidate may feel ready for a deeper immersion and commitment to training in self psychology and intersubjectivity, and move on to the second year of the TRISP Three Year Psychotherapy Program. Upon completion of that program candidates may choose to continue their training in the TRISP Psychoanalytic Training Program.
The TRISP One Year Introductory Program is thus either a self-contained introduction to self psychology and the theory of intersubjectivity, or it is the first step in a two or three step training program, resulting in a certificate in self-psychological psychotherapy or a certificate in self-psychological psychoanalysis.
