Anyone have any opinions of or experience with the residency programs in Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin? I have done a search on this, but I was hoping for any new or differing information.

Additionally, I've heard that the Midwest is the place that psychotherapy comes to die. How much truth is there to this statement? I like the midwest, but I'm also interested in learning therapy.

Thank you

Sorry, but I can tell you about path programs in the midwest...

So I post a question and I don't even get an ATSAI3 response instructing me to go here, there, or everywhere, while at the same time reminding me that if I spend all the time to search on my own he wouldn't have had to do my work for me??? I get one unrelated, albeit complimentary, response and then the thread just up and dies? I am disappointed!

Not really, of course. But this is more fun than simply saying "bump!"

PS - Therapist4Chnge, thanks.

Can't tell you much overall, but I spent a month at MCOW and I liked it a lot. Very friendly people, program structure was nice (2nd year all outpatient, 1st year subs one month of medicine clinic for one of ward medicine, you never spend more than 3 months away from psych your first year). Per rumors, it used to be overly skewed towards a psychodynamic orientation (connected somehow to the Chicago psychoanalysis scene). Then the new chair came in who is much less psychodynamic, and people all seem to rate the program as being better balanced now--stronger in psychopharm than it was in the past, but still retaining its psychotherapeutics training without being overly analytic. Their second year at the Columbia institute seems chock full of both didactic and hands-on learning in therapy. All in all I realy liked the place and the people.

Haven't been to Madison yet, but the rumor is that it's been very pioneering in community-psych. I think they do a 2nd year outpatient like MCOW, but I can't say for sure. Don't know anything else about it beyond that, but people seem to respect it a lot.

Northwestern is tops in IL. They have the location, patient diversity, and facilities. UIC has good faculty, but NMH has the better overall training.
