Statement of Work 1.0 Introduction The contractor shall perform work as described in the Statement of Work (SOW). Background Training to gain sufficient competence in psychotherapy skills is particularly important to military psychiatrists who are often assigned to isolated duty stations as the sole mental health provider, following their residency training. There are no NMCSD psychiatry faculty members credentialed to provide adequate didactic instruction in psychodynamic or psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Training in psychotherapy in order to be qualified to teach and supervise residents in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy, requires at least another 4 years after completion of residency training. No current faculty are pursing this training. However, there are independent private practice psychiatrists and clinical psychologists in the San Diego civilian community, who do have the specialized knowledge to effectively teach residents these vital psychotherapy skills. 3.0 Scope of Work To provide postgraduate year-3(PGY3) and postgraduate year-4(PGY4) psychiatry residents psychotherapy case supervision, to include the integration of psychoanalytical concepts in case formulation; simultaneous attunement to process and content during the following therapy sessions; and the development of awareness and technical approaches to transference and counter transferences with patients. 4.0 Hours of Services One hour individual supervision sessions, averaging 18 times per month, scheduled by the psychotherapy supervisor for dates and times that work for the schedules of both the supervisor and the resident; up to 216 supervision sessions per year. 5.0 Task Description One-on-one, in person psychotherapy case supervision sessions, conducted in the San Diego area, to include the integration of psychoanalytical concepts in case formulation; simultaneous attunement to process and content during the following therapy sessions; and the development of awareness and technical approaches to transference and counter transferences with patients.
