Notes

The Faculty of Medicine of Columbia University has issued its bulletin of THE PSYCHOANALYTIC CLINIC FOR TRAINING AND RESEARCH for 1946–1947. The Clinic, established in the Department of Psychiatry of Columbia University in January, 1945, has the objectives: 1. Graduate residency training for qualified physicians in psychoanalysis and in the psychodynamic (behavior) aspect of the various branches of medicine (psychosomatics); 2. Research in the fields of psychoanalysis and the psychodynamic (behavior) aspect of the various branches of medicine (psychosomatics).

For the purpose of training and research, and also to serve the needs of the community, the Clinic maintains four interrelated therapeutic services: (a) a psychoanalytic service for in-patients; (b) a psychoanalytic service for out-patients; (c) a psychosomatic service; and (d) a psychoanalytic service for children. These services are located at the New York State Psychiatric Institute and Hospital, the Vanderbilt Clinic, and Babies Hospital at the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center.

The Psychoanalytic Clinic for Training and Research now offers to qualified physicians a three-year course of graduate residency training in psychoanalytic medicine. This course is based on complete training in psychoanalysis, includes psychosomatics, and is combined with graduate training in the other branches of psychiatry. Upon fulfilment of the training requirements, students will be awarded a Certificate of Training in Psychoanalytic Medicine. Those students who, in addition, undertake satisfactory investigative work and pass a supplementary examination in the related basic sciences may also be awarded the advanced degree of Doctor of Medical Science. The next first-year class begins October 1, 1946.
