IV. INFORMATION GATHERING PROCESS

The Committee continued the information gathering process in listening to invited guests .

Conference call with Kate Morrell, board member of the National Accreditation Board of Psychoanalysis, Inc.

The National Accreditation Board of Psychoanalysis, Inc. (NABP) has been engaged in the work of setting standards for psychoanalytic training institutes and accreditation for sixteen years to ensure that each accredited institute provides appropriate professional training. The standards have been modelled on those developed for academic institutions by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, and in consultation with institutes already in existence including those outside of the modern school of thought. A consensus of basic requirements for training programs was the goal. The process developed first by focussing on what preparation a student needs to be competent and responsible in the field of psychoanalysis. Then, NABP focussed on what an institute needs to provide for a student to achieve competent and responsible professional status. Accreditation is viewed as an opportunity for an institute to review and strengthen its program. NABP also serves to assist previously accredited institutes in enhancing their programs.

NABP presently accredits seven institutes across the country, three of which offer advanced academic degrees in addition to certificate programs in psychoanalysis.
