These activities in time created a further demand for more intensive, in-depth training which resulted in the establishment of formal three-year part-time postgraduate certificate programs in New York (1986) and San Francisco (1987). Special certificate programs were also begun in Spokane, Washington and Copenhagen, Denmark (1987), and another is planned for Montreal, Canada in the fall of 1997. The current faculty of the east and west coasts has been enlarged to include alumni of the postgraduate training program after being supervised by Dr. Masterson for an extended period.
