The NIP Externship Program provides externs with a rich multi-faceted experience working deeply with patients under excellent supervision. Some externs elect to stay on for an additional year to extend their clinical work with their patients. The program includes:
Clinical Work
• Externs at NIP treat adult patients in an outpatient mental health facility.
Supervision
• At least one supervisory session per week with an experienced psychoanalyst.
• A second supervisory session with a different supervisor may be given if the extern treats more than three psychotherapy patients per week.
• Weekly group supervision with Dr. Axelrod.
Case Conferences
• Different senior analysts lead case conferences each week at the NIP Training Institute with case material presented by externs and social work interns.
Seminars
• Extern attend about 20 seminars per academic year on a wide range of topics. Seminars are led by members of the NIP community as well as by analysts from other analytic training institutes.
Psychoanalytic Perspectives
• Most externship supervisors tend to hold Relational and British Object-Relations perspectives, though none are ideologically rigid.
Extra-curricular: Externs also have access to NIP educational programs including
• Continuing ed courses.
• The Focus Series.
• NIP annual conference.
• Others.
