CERTIFICATE CANDIDACY

Admission to Certificate Candidacy requires completion of all courses comprising the first two years of the program, including fieldwork and supervision. After a minimum of four semesters of approved training analysis, successful completion of the prerequisite course work, and successful completion of the Fieldwork Program, a student in
good standing is eligible to apply for Certificate Candidacy. Candidates working with patients at the Consultation and Referral Service are in an approved individual weekly
analysis.

Clinical Studies Internship: Consultation and Referral Service
Students approved for Certificate Candidacy are eligible to begin supervised clinical training at the CMPS Consultation and Referral Service in conjunction with relevant course work. PT 2610, Treatment Beginnings: Psychopathology & Psychodiagnosis, is a forum for the discussion of issues arising particularly in the early phases of doing treatment at the Consultation and Referral Service.

PT 2611, Case Practicum, is for candidates working with patients beyond the treatment-destructive phase. In PT 2612, Advanced Case Practicum, research candidates will present and discuss cases with a particular focus on the deepest levels of unconscious motivation occurring in the middle and later stages of treatment.

As part of PT 490 Consultation and Referral Service Lab, students meet with Fellows weekly to give an ongoing account of the progress of their cases, and to discuss administrative procedures and academic requirements. All Consultation and Referral Service cases seen by students must be in approved clinical supervisions. After two semesters of PT 211, Supervision of Consultation and Referral Service Cases, clinically experienced students may apply to begin PT 311, Individual Supervision of Consultation and Referral Service Cases. Procedures and readiness for beginning PT 311 and PT 411, Control Analysis of a Consultation and Referral Service Case, are discussed with the student’s Fellow. PT 311 and PT 411 are taken with different supervisors. Students may not receive credit for supervision taken with their analysts.
