This book utilizes psychoanalytic theory to conceptualize
challenges faced in the teaching and training of doctoral
psychology students and the dilemmas faced in the administration of
such a program. The use of psychoanalytic theory to discuss larger
institutional dynamics and societal dynamics is highly original and
very valuable. The authors provide a textured understanding of the
kinds of decisions contemporary professors and administrators face.
The book provides faculty and administrators with a rich framework
from which to conceptualize decisions, actions, acting out,
dilemmas, etc.

This book demonstrates the value of a psychoanalytic perspective in
an arena that is increasingly dominated by market forces, quick
fixes, and allergic reactions to looking at how unconscious
processes complicate clinical work and education. It will be
embraced by psychoanalytic faculty, administrators, and students in
graduate psychology programs.
