What are the educational qualifications required to become a psycho analyst ?(Freud's Psycho analysys)?
Answer:
In California, there are specific schools of psychoanalysis, but in general, it takes a long time to become a full-fledged psychoanalyst. It takes seven years of having one's own individual analysis (e.g. 4 times per week for several years), plus evening classes (since most people work) for at least two years once or twice per week, plus individual AND group supervision at least once per week each (I don't know for how many years - but it's assumed that people who are training to be analysts already have their own private practices with therapy clients). After all of this, one receives a separate doctorate in Psychoanalysis, e.g. Mary Jones, Ph.D., Ph.D.
It used to be that only Psychiatrists were able to be psychoanalysts. So you would be Mary Jones, M.D., Ph.D. However, since psychoanalysis is such long training and most psychiatrists do not even do therapy these days, much less full-fledged traditional analysis, analytic training is open to psychologists, Licensed Clinical Social Workers and Marriage and Family Therapists, as well as pastoral counselors.
These days, it's rare for any kind of therapist to do the full seven years of analytic training. So most programs offer an "abbreviated" program, or certification. These take about two years and consist of evening classes plus individual and group supervision. Therapists are then certified in "analytically-oriented therapy" or "psychodynamically-oriented therapy." They are not "psychoanalysts."
By the way, this is AFTER four years of high school, four years of undergrad, AND two/three/five/? years of post-grad to become a social worker, marriage and family therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist. You can see why there are so few "traditional" analysts these days. It's very expensive and time-consuming.
Freud? A penis is all that you'll need.
after that, blame everything on your mother and how you wanked seeing her naked...
First you have to be a medical doctor, psychiatry is a subspecialty.
Depends on where you live and what school you attend. It all boils down to a PHD I assume, and to be licensed of course. If it's something you're seriously interested in then I recommend checking out the local schools in your area (or school of choice) and talking to an academic adviser
psychiatrist
psychologist
psychotherapist
psychoanalyst
each one requires a different academic achevement thats all I know
If you want to be a 'practicing psychologist' it takes at least 8 years ... 4 to get your 'bachelor's degree', 2 to get your Master's Degree, and 2 to get your PhD in Psychology. If you want to be a 'practicing psychiatrist' it takes at least 10 years (but you'll be an M.D. and not a PhD). If when you have your 'doctorate' you want to practice using Freud's psychoanalysis, that is your choice ... but whle Freud's theories are interesting in a 'historical' way, there are much 'newer' and more 'helpful' ways to do your 'counseling' ... psychoanalysis is a way to 'diagnose' a problem, but there are not any 'Freudian set ways' to 'treat' the 'disease' you 'diagnose' ... and most with degrees are more into 'helping people' than they are in 'analyzing' them.
diploma?
what you'll really need is a thirst for scamming vulnerable people, and a resistance to boring school-work
