If you are looking to get a psychoanalytic education I recommend you consult different institutes and programs available in the state of MA and the United States, or elsewhere. Wikipedia.org provides a great number of links to look at. This school is not part of the American Psychoanalytic Association. It practices a form of psychoanalysis (they call it “modern”) which is considered unprofessional and unethical among the surrounding analytic community. Hence you will find this place disconnected from other organizations and institutes. This school does not provide the courses and number of supervision hours you need to get licensure in the field. Tough this is a private, small school (perhaps 100 students max) I was stunned to find a much disordered administration and a faculty that often seemed in discord. Issues resulting from such disarray varied from small to severe problems with financial aid, visas, health insurance, course requirements, internships, papers and so on. You can inquire about the school’s licensure and current status of accreditation at the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc.. There are many different routes to become an analyst, and in my opinion this school is the route to steer clear of. Acquaint yourself with different pathways, ideas and theories, and talk to different analysts (of different backgrounds and theories) before you sign up anywhere for anything. To study psychoanalysis is a long term commitment, and you probably want a mutually beneficial relationship with the institute you’re studying with. I attended this school and completed a M.A. program, and knowing what I know today I would have taken a different path. Preparedness: F, Reputation: F Have a Question?

It turned out to be an emotional boot-camp sort of deal. Academia is valued by some professors but emotional disclosures in group settings (that don't feel safe at all by the way) are highly praised. Academically, most faculty members are not comfortable unless you blindly believe in their line of thought which they call "Modern Pscyhoanalysis." Read some of Phyllis Meadow and Spotnitz's books before you consider applying and see for yourself if this interests you. I am interested in both academia and also believe that emotional disclosures are valuable. I don't however think that it is right to just have people disclose their feelings in any setting and make them believe that its psychoanalysis. I do believe that if you want to be a psychoanalyst you will have to go to analysis at some point. I don't believe however that students should be coerced into communicating their "feelings." Not all teachers engage in this sort of group technique but beware because most do. You will find yourself reading lengthy articles and then coming to class to discuss your feelings about the paper but never really commenting on the material you spent hours working on. I like academia and am a very applied student. I'm not great talking about my feelings so this was definitely a horrible choice for me. For others, I've seen that it works but just don't believe that your really going to study psychoanalytic theory. Starting Job: clinician, Preparedness: F, Reputation: F Have a Question?

It should also be noted that the Institute offers training in a psychoanalytic technique and theory that is geared towards working with extremely difficult cases, i.e., character disorders and the psychoses. As a clinical psychology major in Central America, I received a heavy ammount of psychoanalytic theory and practice of a very high standard, and found BGSP to offer an equal challenge.
