Professional Training

Psychoanalytic Training FOR ADULTS:
Psychoanalytic Institute of New England, East, Inc. , 1996
Graduate Training #1 Degree:
Harvard Medical School, ’77; Adult Psychiatry Residency, MGH, ’83; Child Fellowship, Cambridge Hospital, ’86

Treatment Philosophy:
Patients can heal themselves through relationships, life experiences, and various shorter- and longer-term treatments. My interests have been in psychodynamic psychotherapy and its more intensive form, psychoanalysis. I’ve seen the power of patients exploring in depth their internal barriers to intimacy, productivity, and creativity. As a therapist and analyst, engaging with and witnessing individuals growing and discovering themselves is a rare privilege that changes both patient and treater in profound ways.

Brief Biography:
Laurie Raymond, M.D. completed her psychoanalytic training at PINE in 1996 after an adult residency at the Mass. General Hospital and a child fellowship at the Cambridge Hospital. She has been in private practice since 1983 and is Board-certified in both adult as well as child and adolescent psychiatry.

For fifteen years until 2013 she developed and directed the Office of Advising Resources at Harvard Medical School, working with two education specialists to assist medical, dental, and biology Ph.D. students with performance difficulties and with preparation for national licensing exams. As a HMS faculty member affiliated with the Cambridge Health Alliance since 1986, she facilitates training groups for both PGY2 psychiatry residents and Child Psychiatry Fellows.

From 2011 she served as Chair of Progressions at the PINE Psychoanalytic Center. In 2014 she became President in order to rebuild PINE with other members after the transfer of many training analysts and faculty to BPSI. The challenge of rebuilding PINE has been inspiring new and old members to envision faculty development, community outreach, and training in new ways. She will direct the new PINE Psychotherapy Fellowship in 2016-2017.
