Preparing the Next Generation of Educators

Five-time recipients of the International Psychoanalytical Association’s Psychoanalytic Training Today Award, Columbia’s faculty have long been recognized as innovators in psychoanalytic education. The Columbia Academy for Psychoanalytic Educators (CAPE) illustrates our commitment to excellence in teaching. CAPE is a school-within-a-school dedicated to promoting the best in psychoanalytic education by providing training and ongoing professional development to the Center’s teaching faculty.

CAPE ASC prepares those faculty members who wish to supervise and analyze candidates through a two-year program of seminars, group supervision, and individual supervision. CAPE Didactics introduces recent graduates to the classroom teaching role through our Associate Instructor program and provides ongoing training in creative teaching techniques through annual workshops and guest lectures.

Analyzing and Supervising Candidates

This two-year training program combines monthly seminars, monthly individual supervision, and monthly peer group supervision, all focused on developing the skills specific to those roles.
