My time at BGSP has opened the door to developing and understanding a new language for the emotional experience. The training BGSP provides cannot be found at a typical university or college; it is a unique and individual process that helps build a solid emotional framework that emphasizes the capacity to work with severely disturbed patients.

The faculty is great. They bring course material to life so we can really learn the material. In the process I have learned a lot about myself which has helped me help others during my clinical training. I highly recommend this school.

It's been a great experience so far. The faculty is made up of experienced clinicians who share stories that help bring concepts to life. They are smart and very accessible. Class sizes are small and interactive and the content is fascinating. I want to help people achieve immediate and long-term results. The course material has taught me that.

I am a graduate of the clinical doctoral program. BGSP provided an intellectual and emotional growth experience. I have used what I have learned to build a successful career and a more fulfilling personal life. Not necessarily an easy journey yet an extremely valuable one.
Overall 4.1
BGSP is amazing. Faculty is made-up of experienced psychoanalysts who bring course material to life through examples from their clinical practice and by purposely doing/saying things to evoke feelings that ignite student emotions. We were able to see techniques in action and feel what it's like to be in psychoanalytic therapy. I learned so much!

It’s a cult.
Once it’s leader Phyiis Meadow died, the staff has been in mourning.
Most of the staff are weird and losers.
Stay away.

This is not a school, but a cult. The "professors" and other instructors have populated the staff and an uncomfortable percent of the student-body with family members or relationship partners. Course work is virtually non-existent--don't read the material or do the paltry papers?--whatever. The school is for raising revenue via mandatory therapy...
