The Covid-19 pandemic and the social distancing required to combat it have set in motion an experiment in psychoanalytic education of unprecedented scope. Following an abrupt shift from in-person study to remote classes, supervision, clinical work, and training analyses, the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research polled its psychotherapy and psychoanalysis trainees to assess their initial experience of remote training. Most candidates found the technical aspects of online learning easy and were satisfied with remote training overall. Across all programs, most trainees considered class length and reading load about right and felt their class participation was unaffected, though they found it harder to concentrate. Most found it no harder to start a training case, felt the shift to remote supervision had no negative effect, and were satisfied with seeing their training analyst remotely. Most trainees preferred in-person classes, clinical work, and training analyses to those offered remotely, yet in light of the health risks they said they were less likely to continue training in fall 2020 if in-person work resumed. Trainees suggested several modifications of teaching techniques to improve their participation and concentration in class. These findings’ implications for the debate regarding remote training in psychoanalysis are explored.

精神分析和心理治疗的紧急远程培训：来自哥伦比亚的初步评估

Covid-19 大流行以及对抗它所需的社会疏远已经启动了一项规模空前的精神分析教育实验。在从面对面学习突然转变为远程课程、监督、临床工作和培训分析之后，哥伦比亚大学精神分析培训和研究中心对其心理治疗和精神分析学员进行了民意调查，以评估他们对远程培训的初步体验。大多数候选人发现在线学习的技术方面很容易，并且对远程培训整体感到满意。在所有课程中，大多数受训者认为课程长度和阅读量是正确的，并认为他们的课堂参与没有受到影响，尽管他们发现更难集中注意力。大多数人发现开始培训案例并不难，感觉转向远程监督没有负面影响，并且对远程见到他们的培训分析师感到满意。大多数受训者更喜欢面对面的课程、临床工作和培训分析，而不是远程提供的课程，但鉴于健康风险，他们表示，如果恢复面对面的工作，他们不太可能在 2020 年秋季继续培训。学员建议对教学技巧进行若干修改，以提高他们在课堂上的参与度和注意力。探讨了这些发现对有关精神分析远程培训的辩论的影响。然而，鉴于健康风险，他们表示，如果恢复面对面的工作，他们不太可能在 2020 年秋季继续接受培训。学员建议对教学技巧进行若干修改，以提高他们在课堂上的参与度和注意力。探讨了这些发现对有关精神分析远程培训的辩论的影响。然而，鉴于健康风险，他们表示，如果恢复面对面的工作，他们不太可能在 2020 年秋季继续接受培训。学员建议对教学技巧进行若干修改，以提高他们在课堂上的参与度和注意力。探讨了这些发现对有关精神分析远程培训的辩论的影响。
