As we explained in the \u201cTraining<\/a>\u201d section, the School advocates a first-level training programme (namely, a peculiar and novel training process), which is not conceived of as post-graduate or specialist training. This is because, if we embrace the idea that psychoanalysis is a standalone science, one needs a wealth of specific knowledge that pertains to psychoanalysis\u2019s own field. Consequently, the candidate\u2019s skills and knowledge will be assessed regardless of their academic background. By this we don\u2019t mean to preclude the affiliation to candidates with a degree, or to set low standards for admissions. To the contrary, the Admission Committee will assess every application. For more information on the \u201cGeneral criteria for admission\u201d, click here<\/a> .[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”How long does the training process to become an analyst (i.e., \u201cqualifying training\u201d) last?” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23707070″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”faqTitle”][vc_empty_space height=”0″][vc_column_text el_class=”faqTxt”]The duration of the training process to begin practicing as an analyst (or \u201cqualifying training\u201d, known as \u201cformazione abilitante\u201d in Italian) is variable. For a candidate to be ready to practice, the following elements play a crucial role: progress in personal training analysis, learning and fully understanding the core concepts of psychoanalysis, the candidate\u2019s own research work, and last but not least the moral standards the candidate demonstrates.<\/p>\n

Such knowledge and personal development constitute the so-called \u201cqualifying training\u201d, which is essential in order to practice as an analyst.<\/p>\n

When the candidate fells ready, and the trainer analyst has sufficient evidence to judge them so, they will be able to commence practicing.
\nThe School fully adheres to the training process<\/a> Freud suggested. What really matters is not the duration of the process, but the quality of the work done as far as both the training analysis and learning\/research outcomes are concerned.<\/p>\n

On average we can consider 4 years<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the School believes the training process to be continual, by which we mean that the analyst is always bound to maintain and improve their own professional and cultural level in relation to the advances and development of the field and of the School\u2019s objectives.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Can I practice as an analyst at the end of the qualifying training?” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23707070″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”faqTitle”][vc_empty_space height=”0″][vc_column_text el_class=”faqTxt”]Yes. The School vouches for the training of its candidates.
\nAnyhow, we would like to underscore that the analysts who trained in our School practice privately as self-employed, offering intellectual services and not psychological support. These services do not fall under the regulation of psychotherapeutic practice (Law 56\/89), but under the usual self-employment regulation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Can I register with the professional order of psychologists at the end of the qualifying training?” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23707070″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”faqTitle”][vc_empty_space height=”0″][vc_column_text el_class=”faqTxt”]No, and one should not even want to. The School is a scientific association that chose not to fall under the legislation regulating psychotherapy (Law 56\/89). There is a precise and fundamental reason for this, which is to preserve the lay status of psychoanalysis; hence to allow, on the one hand, for the possibility of relying on analysts with different backgrounds and, on the other hand, for the development of psychoanalysis as a standalone science<\/a>, the study of which demands bespoke learning.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”What is the selection process for candidates?” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23707070″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”faqTitle”][vc_empty_space height=”0″][vc_column_text el_class=”faqTxt”]The School admits candidates from any cultural background, after one or more interviews aimed at ascertaining the candidate\u2019s cultural, moral and motivational level, as well as their psychological stability.
