IBTP Certifications are acquired through the completion of Knowledge Area Demonstrations (KADs), clinical experience and clinical supervision. The following Certifications are available: Certified Pastoral Counselor (CPC) KNOWLEDGE AREA DEMONSTRATIONS Doctorate level study requires considerable mastery of broad conceptual and historical knowledge, in depth understanding of theoretical and practical issues, and the ability to apply knowledge to problems of professional significance. As a Cornerstone student you will acquire and demonstrate these competencies through the completion of Knowledge Area Demonstrations (KADs). These KADs become an effective avenue for acquiring and demonstrating doctorate level competence. Each student is expected to encounter general areas of knowledge in their preparation of each KAD. The KAD is subdivided into three components--a Breadth, a Depth, and an Application section. The Breadth section requires a demonstration of the student's familiarity with the broad theoretical and conceptual underpinnings of the knowledge base. The assignments will allow for individually designed approaches but will be based upon essentially the same cross-disciplinary literature. The Depth section will entail a demonstration of the student's understanding of a specialized area. Each student will develop an annotated bibliography and write a scholarly paper which will reflect a "state-of-the-art" understanding of a specialized area, issue or concern. The Application section will be a specialized assignment that reveals the student's understanding of the theoretical and conceptual underpinnings of the knowledge base by relating it to a relevant issue in their profession. The components of each KAD share a common internal structure. Learning objectives for the component are set forth and a list of Basic Readings is provided. The student will select a specified number of these titles, the contents of which will be integrated in a comprehensive assignment. This assignment will be selected from a series of options or can be individually developed in consultation with the student's faculty advisor. The faculty will assess each KAD and determine whether it meets the criteria set forth for that particular KAD. The assessment is based on how clearly you demonstrate and express your competency. Papers must also show evidence of conceptualization that involves comparison and contrast of the ideas you find in the literature. If it meets the standards of excellence and fulfills the expected knowledge criteria, the KAD will receive a passing evaluation and the student will gain credit for that particular KAD--eight (8) credits (with the exception of two 10 credit KADs). A total of seven (7) KADs must be completed. If the KAD does not meet the standards of excellence and/or does not fulfill the expected knowledge criteria, the KAD will be returned to the student for rework. Upon completion of rework, the student is to resubmit the KAD for another evaluation and will work the KAD until it becomes acceptable to Cornerstones standards. In addition, each student must do a dissertation. Students will submit a dissertation proposal to their faculty advisor and doctoral committee. Upon approval, the student may proceed with the dissertation. (See the dissertation handbook for greater detail.) NOTE: Before students begin writing their KADs their first assignment is to write an essay designed to explore carefully their past learning experiences and incorporate new learning on basic questions which are being addressed in Psychoanalytic reflection and praxis. Students will also reflect on their future professional and vocational goals.

Translating Knowledge Area Curriculum to Psychoanalytic Tutorial KADs Psychoanalytic tutorials, under the guidance of a psychoanalytic faculty assessor, replace the Depth and Application components of the core KADs and all components of the advanced KADs. Each tutorial carries either 2 or 3 semester credits-typically totaling 8 semester credits for the KAD. All IBTP and UWCMA students are expected to demonstrate breadth competence in the core and advanced KADs based on the guidelines presented in the KAD Curriculum Guide. That is, all students should focus their studies on the recommended readings in the breadth sections of each core and advanced KAD. Within each depth and application psychoanalytic tutorial, students are expected to survey the breadth of topics associated with the subject of that psychoanalytic tutorial, students are expected to survey the breadth of topics associated with the subject of that psychoanalytic tutorial. Following the breadth survey for a given tutorial, the student should proceed to an in-depth study of selected subtopics of particular interest for that tutorial. One’s studies culminate in the development of a scholarly paper that permits one to demonstrate the breadth and depth mastery of the subject matter of the tutorial. It should be noted that the breadth section of KADs 1 and 3 are unrelated to psychoanalytical subject matter and therefore, they will require demonstrations based on the UWCMA KAD recommended readings in addition to the Certification readings. However, the breadth sections of KADs 2 and 4 correspond, in content, to the psychoanalytic tutorials recommended for these core KADs. By making a standard breadth demonstration for KADs 2 and 4, the student will complete the recommended psychoanalytic tutorial. The breadth sections for the advanced KADs (5 and 6) also correspond to the recommended psychoanalytic tutorials. The current edition of the advanced KADs offer additional references useful to the psychoanalytic student.
Students interested in receiving NAAP Certification must contact the Director of PsyA Certification for details. The CTPsyA Certification Program follows NAAP’s guidelines, however NAAP certification is not automatic.
