Appointment to NIP Supervisory Staff

In order to be appointed to NIP supervisory staff, candidates must complete NIP's Supervisory Training Program and have graduated from their psychoanalytic training programs three years prior to becoming an NIP supervisor.

Prospective candidates must also undergo a minimum of 2 interviews with members of the Training Committee.  The results of these interviews, along with recommendations from the co-directors of STP and STP individual and group supervisors, are discussed and determinations are made at a Training Committee meeting.  The interview and selection process begins in the fall and is completed in late winter.
