Graduate Student Committee

The Graduate Student Committee promotes the interests of graduate students within Division 39, serves as a network for the more than 300 student members of the Division and supports them as they pursue their education and training and develop their professional identities.

The Graduate Student Committee is engaged in the following activities:

  • Planning events within the Division that address the specific needs of graduate students. This includes Live Supervision Workshops at the Spring and the Summer meetings, graduate student clinical workshops, special seminars with keynote speakers, as well as social and networking events

  • Reaching out to graduates schools and internship training program to invite graduate students to join Division 39, attend the spring meeting and take advantage of our programs

  • Providing resources for graduates students interested in psychoanalysis including information on internship programs and post-doctoral fellowships

  • Developing a national network of graduate students who share an interest in psychoanalytic psychology

In addition to its regular activities in 2012 the Graduate Student Committee seeks to

  • Further the utilization of social media to provide means for graduate students to link up and share information and experiences

  • Create more opportunities for graduate students to have their voices heard within the Division and beyond

  • Increase coordination of our efforts with the Early Career Professional (ECP) Committee

  • Develop opportunities for graduate students with the Division to get together their peers around country for social, networking and professional development activities.
