A challenging and rewarding environment

In addition to developing competence as a psychotherapist by working intensively with very troubled patients, Fellows develop an extensive skill set, including the ability to:

Integrate psychological and neurobiologic understandings of the patient, and appreciate the ways in which the familial and social context can influence the development of severe mental illness.
Work effectively as a competent psychiatrist and creative psychopharmacologist, dealing with complex patients who have proven resistant to most available medications.
As a clinical psychologist, become expert in administering and interpreting a battery of psychological tests.
Work with large and small groups in the therapeutic community to grasp the complex interaction of group and individual psychology.
Understand organizational dynamics, which positions the Fellow to consult to managers and organizations about systems problems.
Engage in psychodynamic research and clinical writing to communicate what is learned through this intensive study of disturbed patients.
