• Senior Membership:

Opt-in retirement plan for Senior Member dues.

The APsA Board of Directors approved a new opt-in retirement plan that started in January 2021 that will allow Psychoanalyst Members (Active Members) who have newly reached Senior status (having turned 70 in the previous calendar year and who have 10 years of membership) to request semi-retired or fully retired dues status.

Semi-Retired – eligible members working less than 15 hours a week would pay dues equal to 2/3 of the Full Active Membership Dues rate.

Retired – eligible members not deriving income from clinical practice (psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, clinical consultation, supervision, pharmacology, and testing) would pay dues equal to 1/3 of the Full Active Membership Dues rate.  Fully retired members will be noted within the roster.

Semi-retired and retired members will retain all member benefits including voting and holding office.  New 2023 Senior Members can complete a short form attesting to their eligibility by January 31, 2023 for the current year. Forms received after that date will not have their IPA dues reduced for the current year as the IPA finalizes member dues as of January 31st.

Current Senior Member:  Members who are already psychoanalyst senior/life members will continue within their existing dues reduction schedule and will not be subject to the new plan. However, these members are invited to make donations equivalent to the dues applicable under the new plan and to participate in APsA’s fund-raising initiative, which can be found at apsagiving.org.

IPA Senior Dues:  Effective in 2021, the IPA^# invoices $100 dues to all senior/life dues-exempt members.  Therefore, dues-exempt senior/life members will be billed $100 for IPA dues – in addition to any voluntary contributions and subscriptions.  Please be advised that non-payment of this IPA dues results in no longer being an active voting IPA member.
