SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
Welcome to Demystifying Psychotherapy!, the National Institute for the Psychotherapies first ever podcast.
Co-hosts are NIP's new Executive Director, Christel MacLean, MBA; and Kenneth A. Frank, PhD, a leading voice in psychotherapy. Join them as they discuss their professional backgrounds and delve into the fascinating world of psychotherapy.
Christel came to the position with a Wharton MBA, a decade on Wall Street, and years working as a serial entrepreneur. Her most recent position was Director of Operations feeding NYC's homeless population. While experienced in running organizations, she has very limited experience in the field of psychotherapy, and as a novice, wanted to learn more.
Enter Ken, who is a certified psychoanalyst and certified in cognitive behavior therapy. He has written over 60 publications and has lectured extensively on this topic. Ken is Co-Founder and Board Director of NIP, and Co-Director of PIP, NIP's Integrative Training Program. He is also a former Clinical Professor in Psychiatry at Columbia University where he also earned his PhD.
In Episode 5, Christel and Ken have invited a special guest, NIP candidate Ashleigh Ide. Ashleigh is a 4th year candidate in the 4-year training program and we've invited her to share what it is like to be in training as a candidate at NIP. Ashleigh will share facts about her prior working life as a photographer, her decision to go to graduate school to study social work and receive her LMSW, and why she selected NIP for additional training. It's a terrific episode filled with insights into the life of a candidate.
