Approved training institutes maintain and implement the applicable educational, administrative, and professional standards of the Association for the teaching of psychoanalysis and the training of psychoanalysts.
Educational Offerings
Clinical psychoanalytic training programs in Adult Psychoanalysis and Child and/or Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis reflect the educational requirements, clinical training, and clinical experience necessary for an individual to become a competent psychoanalyst. In addition, many APsA institutes and centers offer clinical training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, as well as Academic and Research training programs.
APsA’s affiliate societies provide ongoing educational opportunities for their members and community events, including lectures, films, and exhibitions.
