Services Offered

*The Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis (MIP) offers licensed mental health professionals the opportunity to obtain low-cost clinical consultation services from highly experienced psychoanalysts, all Supervising Faculty at MIP. These services are open to clinicians of all levels of experience, including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and psychiatric nurses. Services will be tailored to each therapist's needs. These services can benefit therapists in many ways, including helping the therapist who:
* Wants to deepen his or her capacity to engage with new patients and set the therapeutic frame
* Is working with issues or patients with diagnoses that the therapist has little experience in
* Has reached an impasse with a patient
* Is involved in a process or enactment with a patient that is both anxiety-provoking and not well understood
* Wants to deepen their work with transference - countertransference issues

Education and Training - MIP offers an intensive and comprehensive psychoanalytic training program, a license-qualifying program in psychoanalysis, a certificate program in trauma studies, and a one-year program in psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

Low-Cost Psychotherapy - the Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis provides low cost psychotherapy and multiple-times-per-week psychoanalysis to people in the New York Metropolitan area, including many students, actors, artists and others who do not have access to affordable mental health treatment in a private practice setting. In light of the changing mental health care climate, which emphasizes quick fixes and offers limited resources to people seeking individual treatment, programs like ours are essential to fill the gap left by insurance company policies.
