Evaluations

A. Curriculum/Course Work:
At the end of each course and workshop, candidates are evaluated by faculty on the Candidate Seminar Participation Evaluation Form  (Appendix 6) and faculty are evaluated by students on the Evaluation of Workshop/Seminar Form (Appendix 7). In addition, faculty who teach workshops evaluate all classes on the Class Evaluation by Seminar/Workshop Leader Form (Appendix 8).

B. Clinic/Field Work:
Candidates are required to complete a Cumulative Monthly Kept Sessions Form (Appendix 5), to track the number of completed clinical hours.

In addition, each year, the professional clinical work of all candidates is evaluated by their Clinic Liaison (usually a Director or Advisor on site at clinical placements) on the Candidate Clinic Performance Evaluation Form  (Appendix 9 ).

C. Supervision:
Supervision is evaluated informally at the mid-year mark, and in a formal, written procedure at the end of each academic year. All supervisors are evaluated by candidates and candidates are evaluated by their supervisors annually via the Supervisor’s Evaluation of Candidate (Appendix 10) and  Supervisor Evaluation Form (Appendix 11).

D. Personal Therapy:
During the application process, potential candidates are responsible for completing the Personal Psychotherapy Release Form (Appendix 12), on which permission is released for NYIPT to contact their therapist to evaluate the qualifications of the therapist. The therapist is given the Candidate’s Psychotherapist Evaluation Form (Appendix 12), to explain experiential background and training, and each year both candidates and therapists complete the Candidate’s Personal Personal Therapy Annual Update Form (Appendix 13) to verify the number of hours a candidate has been seen in treatment. Finally, all information as to Supervision, Clinical Placement and Personal Therapy are tracked by the Administration in the Fall and Spring of each year using the Candidate Information Update Form (Appendix 14).
