Professional development as a clinician is a lifelong process. Ideally, your continuing education follows a thoughtful plan that can help you develop expertise in an area relevant to your work. Documenting your advanced study in a specific area allows others to recognize this work. While not a degree, completion of the certificate can be noted as a descriptor of your advanced education.
The Certificate of Advanced Study in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy is built from CE courses sponsored by the Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies. The Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. The Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies maintains responsibility for this program and its content.
