In 2002 a pilot program was established under the auspices of the American Psychoanalytic Association, with the participation of four of its institutes, to study the feasibility of creating a separate training track in child analysis without the requirement of previous adult analytic training. The program, which ran from 2003 through 2006, was evaluated by a research project completed in 2007. These efforts resulted in the formal creation of a separate training track in child analysis to train child analysts only. The experience of two of the pilot programs, which required the analysis of three children and one adult, is described.
