I was a student at Westchester Institute (1990-92) and, after Lyman Hartley left, I was excommunicated for ideological deviance and assertion of personal initiative in managing of my training rather than obediently submitting to training and personal analysts who as part of the faculty would have collectively disposed of my soul. Best part was that they taught about D.W. Winnicott. But they did not seem to really understand his work. Read Linda Hopkins' biography of Masud Khan; it's great. The faculty needed to study Sandor Ferenczi's "The adaptation of the family to the child" ("Final contributions to the problems and methods of psychoanalysis", 1955, p. 75), which would have taught the how to treat students. The psychoanalytic world is a mixed bag in general, with some fine persons today such as Michael Eigen (NYU)..WI may be very different today than it was in 1990.
