New Training Center, Post-Doc, and Clinic opens I am thrilled that we will be able to offer over fifty hours each month of low-fee psyhotherapy to the community! Our intake fee will be $50, and individual sessions will begin at $25 per session. We will be open for referrals as of October 1. Referrals can be made either through calling our answering service @ 510 644-4287, or e-mailing me at broitman@behavior.net .We are very pleased to be operating our pre- and post-doctoral program in conjunction with the Wright Institute, and our program is administered by Gilbert Newman, PhD of the Wright Institute. Our mission is to teach pre - and post-docs to do excellent psychotherapy and to do excellent psychotherapy research. In addition, we will provide a free or low-cost clinic for people in the Bay Area. Our orientation will be the Control-Mastery theory as described in the writings of Hal Sampson, Joseph Weiss, and the members of the San Francisco Psychotherapy Research Group. We hope that through our research and clinical experience, we will develop the theory further. We also hope to make use of the research and clinical findings of other groups.

Control Mastery theory is an integrative theory. It is relational in the assumption that both past and prior learning and change takes place in the context of relationships. It is humanistic in the assumption that people are striving for health, it is cognitive in the assumption that unconscious pathogenic beliefs, derived from traumatic experience give rise to psychopathology, and it is psychoanalytic in its emphasis on the importance of unconscious processes in sustaining psychopathology and overcoming it through testing of pathogenic beliefs within the transference.
It is the intent of this school to offer clinical, administrative and research training opportunities to our trainees, along with didactic seminars in contemporary academic and clinical psychology. While control mastery theory as it stands today is our starting point, we view the theory as a work in progress, which will grow and expand as new developments in research inform our clinical understanding. There will be a multidisciplinary approach built into the training, with the inclusion of clinically relevant advances in evolutionary biology, psychiatry (psychopharmacology) and other related areas of study. Our goal is to help students, informed by our theory, gain skill and sophistication in working in a variety of treatment modalities and with a variety of techniques, determined by client-focused and case-specific assessment, treatment planning, psychotherapy process, and outcome research.
