Statistical Analyzer:

When I entered this program I thought I would be studying in an academic program. 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.
