SUMMARY
As is the case in many training courses in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, one of the training requirements of the Dutch Society for Psychoanalytical Psychotherapy (NVPP) is a training analysis, currently a minimum duration of 700 hours. During the last few years, this requirement has become somewhat controversial. Because the NVPP does not have information about the current interest in NVPP membership, the Board of the NVPP decided to do a survey. Of 995 psychiatrists, clinical psychologists and psychotherapists, who had recently completed their training, or were still in training, 623 filled in a questionnaire. Of those who are interested in the NVPP training, 39 per cent judged the training analysis as not feasible in terms of time, and 61 per cent in terms of money. Forms of personal treatment thought desirable for anyone who wishes to become a psychoanalytic psychotherapist at a specialist level are, in descending order, psychoanalytic psychotherapy (63%), psychoanalysis (39%), psychoanalytic group psychotherapy (25%), and psychoanalytic marital or family therapy (6%). Respondents who judge personal analysis as not feasible, also tend to judge psychoanalysis to be equivalent to other forms of psychoanalytic psychotherapy, whereas those who judge personal analysis as feasible, tend to think that personal analysis is essential for a psychoanalytic psychotherapist at the specialist level.
The initiative for the survey reported in this paper was developed by the Dutch Society for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (NVPP). The survey was supervised by three members of the Board of the NVPP (M.M.T. Hendriks, O.N. Markx and Dr R.C. van der Mast). The research was supported in part by the NVPP, several Dutch training institutes (Centrale RINO-groep, RINO Noord-Nederland, RINO Zuid-Nederland) and by the Foundation ‘Stichting Psychotherapeutische Fondsen’, Rotterdam. The research project was executed at the Department of Medical Psychology and Psychotherapy, Medical Faculty, Erasmus University, Rotterdam. Thanks are due to H.J. Duivenvoorden, A. Van 't Spijker, and D.L. Stronks, for their statistical support and their contribution to the first draft of this paper. Thanks are also due to A. de Klerk, who checked the report of the history of the NVPP. Of course, any faults left are my sole responsibility.
