title: Use of a long-term inpatient unit as a site for learning psychotherapy.
abstract: Little has been written about the benefits of a long-term inpatient unit as a site for training psychiatric residents to do psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy. An account is provided of the General Clinical Research Service at the New York State Psychiatric Institute, a unit that is structured to provide residents with this type of learning experience, which is described at length. Emphasis is placed on how the rotation is designed to ensure that residents learn affectively and experientially as well as intellectually.
