Education and Training 

The Institute and Society are dedicated to teaching and continued learning.  Our mandate is to promote psychoanalytic education and research, to advance the development of the theory and practice of psychoanalysis and to educate and train future psychoanalysts.


We offer many programs and opportunities for psychoanalytic learning geared toward mental health professionals and trainees, as well as those from other fields and many walks of life, at different career levels and knowledge of psychoanalysis.
