The Graduate Student Committee represents the interests of Graduate students in Division 39.  Our aim is to encourage student participation in all aspects of the Division’s work and to provide useful information to graduate students about current psychoanalysis, including programs and training sites that are open to psychoanalytic views.

Graduate students are very active in our Division.  We have more than 300 students members many of whom come to our major spring conference each year as well as to the summer APA meetings. Currently our committee has representatives from Toronto, Texas, Boston, Washington, Oregon, Chicago, and New York. We would like to expand the membership of our committee to include more West Coast members.  If you would like to join us, contact either of the co-chairs listed below.

At the 2010 Spring Meeting in Chicago in April we provided a stimulating live supervision with Malcolm Slavin, Ph.D., as senior supervisor, and Darelene Ehrenberg, PhD, as senior discussant. Two graduate student only workshops were hosted by the keynote speakers Dr. Frank Summers and Dr. Muriel Dimen. A graduate student clinical panel was featured, consisting of clinical papers by graduate students, entitled “A Wild Ride: Becoming a Psychodynamic Clinician in an Era of Prescriptions and Constrictions.”

Our members are actively involved in creating a web page for the Division 39 website that is accessible, attractive, and informative.

Check out the links for psychoanalytically friendly graduate and internship programs below.  We plan to add more information over time, including a list of postdoctoral programs and a  host of other useful information for graduate students.
