The ICP+P Fellowship class for 2023 -2024 is full and we regret that we can not accept any more applications. Please check our website in May 2024 for the opening of the next application season.
Who should apply?
The program is designed for practicing clinicians, residents, interns, and advanced graduate students from mental health fields including psychology, psychiatry, social work, counseling, and nursing. The Fellowship gives participants a feel for the types of learning experiences available in ICP+P’s training programs and professional community.
What do Fellows do?
Fellows participate in monthly Saturday afternoon seminars throughout the academic year. Seminars, which are held virtually, feature presentations on selected psychoanalytic topics by faculty and graduates of ICP+P’s Psychoanalytic Training Program, as well as other invited speakers. Readings are provided in advance of the meetings. Seminars draw from a variety of contemporary psychoanalytic perspectives, including self psychology, relational theory, intersubjective systems theory, motivational systems theory, attachment theory, and findings from infant studies.
What topics will be covered?
- History and Evolution of Contemporary Psychoanalytic Theory
- Early Attachment and Traumatic Loss
- Relational Analytic Process
- Contemporary Models of Transference and Countertransference
- Race, Culture, Whiteness and their Impact on Theory and Practice

ICP+P maintains responsibility for this program and its content. ICP+P is approved by the Maryland Board of Social Work Examiners to offer Category I continuing education credit. As our CE program receives oversight from a licensed social worker, the CE credits we award are highly likely to be recognized by licensing boards in Virginia and the District of Columbia.
