Psychiatric Experience

AGIP believes that psychoanalytic psychotherapists should be familiar with a wide range of psychological distress. Trainees are expected to have some experience of an appropriate psychiatric setting, such as a psychiatric hospital, day hospital, therapeutic community or community mental health centre. Some trainees may have gained this experience prior to starting the training and should advise the Training Committee of this. Others will need to undertake a suitable part-time placement of approximately six months as part of the training process. If necessary, tutors will help with arrangements for placements. Students are required to write a brief report of about 1,000 words on their placement.
