i visited wash u. and really liked the people and the environment. everyone is super-friendly, and the chair of the department is just about the coolest guy i expect to meet on the interview circuit! the hospital is outrageously nice. having said that, i should tell you that although they will go out of their way to tell you otherwise, this is a VERY biological program that heavily emphasizes research. they don't provide much formal teaching on the therapies - you can seek out some psychodynamic training, for example, by choosing a supervisor with experience in that modality. but they are certainly not going to spoon feed you much as far as psychotherapy goes...
