RESEARCH CANDIDACY

Students who have made a successful presentation of cases to the Faculty Council and who have had at least 25 hours of PT 411 register for either PT 524, Psychoanalytic Writing Practicum, or PT 527, Research Supervision, and PT 2612, Advanced Case Practicum. The student submits 3 to 5 pages on an area of research interest and possibly a research question to the Research Committee. When the project is approved, the student begins the research project. The case selected for research is studied in PT 411, Control Analysis. The control analyst supervises the case and verifies the clinical data in the final written research project.
