Psychoanalytic concepts are relevant to the doctor-patient relationship of medical practice, irrespective of specialty. Medical students represent psychoanalysts’ future medical colleagues and referral sources, as well as potential psychiatric colleagues and even psychoanalytic candidates. As APsaA’s Committee on Medical Student Education’s mission and goals indicate, the American Psychoanalytic Association is committed to maintaining useful working relationships with medical students and their teachers.
The Medical Student Reading List is provided as a starting place for medical students interested in exposure to psychoanalytic concepts, and the companion Medical Student Teachers’ Reading List is provided as a guide for analysts and other faculty who are working with medical students. The Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Reading Lists from the Residency Education page may be of interest as well.
