The Dean

When the Institute was founded in 1941, there were minimum course and supervision requirements and none as to hours of personal analysis or regarding a time limit for completion of training. By 1958, a revolution in psychoanalysis had taken place, in response to which a six-year program was organized. Significant changes were made when a five-year course was instituted in 1964. These involved fewer hours of personal analysis, increase in the number of supervisions, and greater integration into the various therapeutic and research programs of the Karen Horney Clinic.

The available hours of treatment in the Karen Horney Clinic program have been still further increased by the participation of six Karen Horney Clinic Fellows, the largest number active in any one year to date. There has also been an increase in the number of contributed hours with a comparatively greater increase in remunerated hours of service.

The international character of the Institute has become more evident. Many of its founding members and original candidates were born abroad. During the first five years of the Institute's existence, an even greater proportion of new candidates had come from Europe via many countries, moved here by the European holocaust. In the past five years quite other factors are bringing foreign psychiatrists to us for training. Twelve candidates were or still are citizens of South Africa, Iran, Greece, Italy, Spain, England, Iceland, Argentina, Colombia and Canada.

In no small measure the impetus for the increasingly international nature of the Institute has been Dr. Horney's books, available across the world in the original as well as translations into French, Spanish, Portugese, Italian, Dutch, Danish and Swedish. Recently, Jugoslav translations have appeared and there may have been or are others of which we are unaware. The American Journal of Psychoanalysis has an increasing international readership, particularly in Europe. The Dean's lecture tours in Europe and the Far Ea
