Quotations from W.R.D. Fairbairn

"If it be asked how it comes about that conditional badness is preferred to unconditional badness, the cogency of the answer may best be appreciated if the answer is framed in religious terms; for such terms provide the best representation for the adult mind of the situation as it presents itself to the child. Framed in such terms, the answer is that it is better to be a sinner in a world ruled by God than to live in a world ruled by the Devil." (Endopsychic Structure Considered in Terms of Object-Relationships, 1944)
Chair: Sheila Hill, M.S.W.
Program Overview
The IPI faculty offers supervision to individuals and groups. Anyone may request supervision from IPI, whether enrolled in an IPI program or not. Supervision is available but not required for students in the Two-Year Object Relations Theory and Practice program. It is a requirement for a certificate in the Couple, Child and Family Program, in the Clinical Application Program, and in the IIPT program in psychoanalysis.
Individual, paired and group supervision is offered face-to-face, by telephone, or for sites or individuals with videoconference capability by videoconference. Currently those IPI sites with videolinks are Chevy Chase, Salt Lake City, Long Island, Omaha, and Panama. Fees vary by site. For more information contact IPI.
