Training and Qualifications
The preparation and training for becoming a psychoanalytic psychotherapist is lengthy and rigorous. The British Psychoanalytic Council requires its member institutions to maintain high standards, particularly in the selection of those who want to become psychotherapists. Most applicants for training will already have a background in medicine, psychology or social work and will also have experience in the mental health field.

Famous quotes containing the word training:
“The area [of toilet training] is one where a child really does possess the power to defy. Strong pressure leads to a powerful struggle. The issue then is not toilet training but who holds the reins—mother or child? And the child has most of the ammunition!”
—Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)
