Best Psychodynamic-Oriented Clinical Psych Programs?

[psychmeout]

What are the best Ph.D programs in clinical psychology that have a psychodynamic bias?

I'm not sure- but I've heard NYC is very psychodynamically focused, so you could definitely start there.

Also, I think the Clinical Psych Grad Programs book that everyone has breaks down faculty interest/background by %, and I remember psychodynamic being one of the options (ex. 10% psychodynamic, 80% CBT, etc.). While it might be a more manual process than hearing through the grapevine, it might be worth a few hours to go through and highlight some potential programs.

The New York Psychoanalytic Institute is the place to be. But you need an MD or PhD first. Psychoanalysis! The only profession where 40 years old is young.

^^Should have said this originally, but I cribbed that sentiment from Janice Malcolm's "The Impossible Profession", a must-read for the psychoanalytically inclined.
