bgsp is not a place you can sneak through without looking at yourself. this is the hardest part of the program. the training was good - I think I'm better than many of my peers who trained in clinical psychology at being able to tolerate the uncertainty and "not knowing" that comes with doing good research and being with patients.

I did my research on a single-case study and it was hard. But I have won awards for my work since then, and am grateful for the double-duty I did as patient and analysand, having to tolerate frustration on my way to becoming a clinician. I think I tend to provide "answers" less readily than my peers, and my practice is booming. This is definitely a clinical program, and anyone seeking more of an academic experience will probably be frustrated by the emphasis on studying dynamics and having to get to know yourself…For me, it was absolutely amazing.
