Payment plans and partial scholarships
In response to requests from our membership, ICP&P is currently setting up payment plans for those individuals who would like to register for the Relational Perspectives Institute (RPI) but are unable to pay the full tuition in one lump sum. If you would like to take advantage of this payment option please submit a payment plan via email to our administrator Morgan Theriot at: icpeastadmin@att.net.
Once your payment planned has been approved by the ICP&P Treasurer, a minimum deposit of $300 will be required to finalize your registration. All payment plans must provide for complete payment by 12/31/09.
ICP&P is also making a limited number partial scholarships available to those individuals who can demonstrate financial need. Please contact Morgan for a scholarship application form.
Refund policy
Due to the fixed costs associated with speakers, facility space, and audio equipment, tuition refunds will not be granted after May 15, 2009. Institute participants that wish to withdraw from the Institute prior to May 15, 2009 will receive a refund minus a $50.00 administrative fee.

Each participant will be asked to obtain copies of the following books: · A Meeting of Minds: Mutuality in Psychoanalysis (1986) by Lewis Aron, PhD. The Analytic Press. Relational Perspectives Book Series-Volume 4 · Hope and Dread in Psychoanalysis (1995) by Stephen A. Mitchell, PhD. · Basic Books Relational Psychoanalysis: The Emergence of a Tradition (1999) eds.

Continuing Education Credits
A total of 52 CE credits will be awarded for full attendance of the institute year (each of the four weekend conferences). ICP&P is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. The Institute maintains responsibility for this program and its content. ICP&P has been approved by the Maryland Board of Social Work Examiners to offer Category I continuing education credit. Because ICP&P has received this approval from the Maryland Board, CE credit hours awarded by ICP&P may also be claimed by social workers licensed in Virginia and the District of Columbia. The continuing education credits meet the ANCC approval for nurses.
Program Note
Due to the lead time required, conference schedules, presentation speakers, presentation titles, and the specific rooms to be utilized within the Cosmos Club are subject to change. All participants will be notified of any program changes via E-mail.
Dress Code
The dress code of the Cosmos Club requires all men to wear suit jackets and ties in the public areas and all participants are prohibited from wearing jeans and tennis shoes. Ties and jackets can be removed inside the conference meeting rooms.
