1Psychoanalytic training is entirely a function of the New York Psychoanalytic Society and its Institute and under no circumstances that of any individual.
2The supervision of psychoanalytic training, the regulation thereof, and the adjudication of all educational problems connected therewith are delegated by the Society to its Educational Committee.
3The Chairman of the Educational Committee is its executive officer. Reports to the committee shall be made through him and the findings of the Committee shall be communicated to the party or parties concerned by him, unless the Committee specifically directs otherwise. The mandatory reports hereinafter enumerated shall be submitted to the Committee in writing.
1Personal Suitability: It shall be the duty of the Educational Committee to determine the personal fitness of all applicants for training. Criteria shall be maturity of personality, integrity of character and psychological aptitude. Individuals suffering from severe neurosis or definite personality defects shall be excluded.
2Preliminary Scientific Training: An M.D., degree, conferred by a medical school accredited to the A. M. A., and a general interneship of at least one year in a hospital approved by the A. M. A., shall be the standard preliminary scientific training. In addition a year of post-graduate work in psychiatry in a mental hospital recognized by the A. M. A. shall be obligatory.
3Proof of Good Faith: Before training is started, the applicant shall pledge himself in writing neither to conduct analyses prior to the completion of his training nor to represent himself as a practicing psychoanalyst without the permission of the Educational Committee.
