Institutional Problems of Psychoanalytic Education

Otto F. Kernberg

Abstract

I believe that psychoanalytic education is suffering from serious disturbances, which, by analogy, might be examined as an illness affecting the educational structures of psychoanalytic institutes and societies. After describing the symptoms of this illness, I shall explore its causes and suggest a possible course of treatment. My objective is not to present "ideal solutions" to problems, but to provide a theoretical frame that might facilitate such solutions.
