Continuing
Education Program
Liaison with the Louisiana State University Medical Centers'
Departments of Psychiatry in New Orleans and Shreveport
The
New Orleans Psychoanalytic Institute has made its facilities and faculty
available to the L.S.U.M.C. Departments of Psychiatry in New Orleans
and in Shreveport for a course in psychodynamic psychotherapy. The course
consists of thirty-two class meetings over each academic year. Class
meetings are held at the Institute and last one and three quarter hours.
Class time is divided between the study of readings in the theoretical
basis of psychodynamic psychotherapy, case presentations by residents,
and discussions of the case material. Contact between the New Orleans
and Shreveport groups is provided by a telephone conference hookup,
to promote the free and lively discussion of issues and ideas raised
by the readings and the case presentations.
