Palo Alto Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Training Program (PAPPTP)

PAPPTP FELLOWSHIP YEAR

In a case discussion format the PAPPTP Fellowship Year brings psychoanalytic ideas and methods to life by offering you a window into how experienced psychoanalytic psychotherapists work. In three 7-week segments, our faculty will present to you their work with adults and children, showing how their work lessens suffering and promotes growth. It is designed for psychotherapy students, interns, therapists newly in practice, and experienced therapists wanting a rich and stimulating exposure to psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

Note: Graduates of the Fellowship Year often go on to apply to the Two-Year Program.

LOCATION: Stanford Psychiatry Building.

COSTS: Tuition and registration fees for 2026-2027 are to be determined..

REQUIREMENTS: Applicants must have a California professional license OR be registered with the State as an “Associate” (MFT, Social Work and Psychology trainees) or Post-graduate Trainee (Resident).

The next Fellowship Year program will be the 2026-2027 academic year. Please check back in Fall of 2025 for more information and how to apply.
