become a training and supervising analyst (TSA)
being a training and supervising analyst is an extraordinary role to have in the analytic training experience of a candidate
In order to become a Training and Supervising Analyst at ICP, applicants must be a member of ICP and meet certain requirements:
If they are an ICP graduate they need to have participated in an ICP Study Group for a minimum of five years. After two years post-graduation they may apply to the TSA Committee and become a TSA, but in order to retain their TSA status, they must continue to be in a study group for a total of five years (post-graduation). At least two years of that five-year requirement must be participating in an ICP peer consultation group (PCG), and one year must be in an ICP supervision training group (STG). For the remaining two years, they can choose to participate in either a peer group or a supervision group, or a year in each.
In addition, both ICP graduates and outside applicants for Training and Supervising Analyst must demonstrate competence by means of one of the following three options:
- Become Board Certified with a specialty in psychoanalysis or gain certification as a Training and Supervising Analyst through one of the following organizations: the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP); the American Psychoanalytic Association Board of Professional Standards (APsaA BOPS), the American Board of Psychoanalysis (ABPsa), or the American Board of Examiners in Clinical Social Work (ABE BCD-P).
- Be an approved TSA at an institute with equivalent requirements.
- Present an analytic case at ICP before a three-member panel charged with determining suitability for TSA status. Two members of this panel are drawn from ICP’s TSA Committee, and one member of this panel is an ICP TSA but not on the TSA committee. In addition to presenting a case to this three-member panel, the applicant will also be asked to discuss their experience conducting and/or receiving supervision, and to describe how that experience has shaped their own philosophy and approach to supervision.
Please familiarize yourself with the detailed ICP TSA Policies and Procedures before sending your application, as these are the official ICP requirements.
