Training in psychoanalytic medicine is now being carried out at the College of Medicine at New York City of the State University of New York. Dr. Howard W. Potter, Professor of Psychiatry and Executive Officer of the Department of Psychiatry, has set up, within the Department, a Division of Psychoanalytic Medicine. Dr. Sandor Lorand has been appointed Chairman of the Executive Committee of this division. This committee is responsible to the Department of Psychiatry for recommendations both as to choice of students, arrangement of courses and teaching, and for choice of the psychoanalytic faculty. Recognition as a training center has been granted by the Board of Professional Standards of the American Psychoanalytic Association.
Candidates for training are appointed from among graduates of the Psychiatric Residency Program, from psychiatric residents in advanced standing and from members of the staff of the College and its affiliated hospitals.
A clinic for analytically oriented psychotherapy is currently in operation at the Kings County Hospital. Psychoanalytic therapy will shortly be provided through the same clinic. Students in training staff the clinics and daily supervision is provided by members of the psychoanalytic faculty.
