Training Overview
The Westchester Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy (WCSPP) was chartered in 1974 by the Regents of the University of the State of New York to meet the training needs of mental health professionals.
WCSPP provides formal training in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy as well as in child and adolescent psychotherapy and a supervisory training program.
Classes and administrative offices are at Wainwright House in Rye, New York. WCSPP is interdisciplinary, non-hierarchal and committed to the collaboration between faculty and candidates in the development of curriculum, policies, and a strong educational milieu.
WCSPP sponsors an annual conference, scientific meetings and workshops which are open to the community. In addition, WCSPP provides consultation and service to a variety of institutions in the larger community. The faculty represents a range of contemporary psychoanalytic perspectives. It is committed to a continuing reassessment of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in the light of new knowledge and developments in the profession.
