About

The mission of the Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis (PSP) is to develop and sustain a strong psychoanalytic community, which has many functions: education, training, research, the practice of psychoanalysis, as well as service to its membership. The sense of community rests on a foundation of shared values: commitment to lifelong personal growth, professional ethics, mutual support among analysts, and fruitful involvement with the psychoanalytic and the larger community. These values are shaped by a historical vision of psychoanalysis that includes a theory of mind, a way of understanding social phenomena, and a treatment process. PSP strives to foster a climate of purposeful inclusion of all people.

PSP offers Online Programs in psychoanalysis, organizational leadership, clinical supervision, and continuing education. The program in psychoanalysis is accredited by the American Board for Accreditation in Psychoanalysis, and Continuing Education courses are accredited by the National Board for Certified Counselors.

PSP also operates the Phiadelphia Consultation Center which provides quality long term therapy to Pennsylvania residents.
