THE NEW ORLEANS–BIRMINGHAM PSYCHOANALYTIC CENTER REGIONAL CONSORTIUM FOR CHILD ANALYTIC TRAINING was established to provide more accessible training in child analysis throughout the Southeast.

  1. The Child Analytic Training Program includes three years of seminars followed by a voluntary fourth year study group composed of candidates and faculty.
  2. Participating faculty include child analysts in the region who may teach or consult using audiovisual technology to extend beyond their immediate areas.
  3. Candidates in child analysis may apply at any time during or after their adult analytic training.
  4. Seminars are held September through May following the New Orleans– Birmingham Psychoanalytic Center’s trimester schedule.
  5. Candidates accepted into the program are child analytic candidates of the New Orleans–Birmingham Child Analytic Training Program. Their progress is followed by the Child Analysis Progress Committee composed of child analysts in the region participating in the Consortium.
