A third component of the program is recommended, but not required and not covered in the tuition package--personal psychodynamic psychotherapy or psychoanalysis. Some program participants may already be in a well-established psychotherapy or psychoanalysis before beginning the program. Many participants--even those who have been through a course of therapy or analysis before--may elect to reenter psychodynamic psychotherapy or psychoanalysis during the program. This, however, is recommended, not required. Applicants who are interested in a concurrent psychotherapy or psychoanalytic experience may contact a faculty member for a recommendation.
