The National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis (NPAP) is an institution in New York City by
psychoanalysts in the United States.[1]
Following the lead established by Sigmund Freud, the NPAP offers training to the three core disciplines of medicine, social work, and psychology, as well as to graduates from the humanities.[2]
Over the following decades, dissensions emerged in the organization, and other non-medical
training institutions were set up in the United States.[3]
Ideology
The organization sees itself as a vibrant
professional association of analysts representing a diversity of theories that comprise contemporary psychoanalytic inquiry.[4]
The NPAP's diverse membership is active in research, publication, legislation, public education, and cultural affairs, thus ensuring a psychoanalytic contribution to the community at large. The NPAP also publishes the journal The Psychoanalytic Review, the oldest continuously published psychoanalytic journal in the United States.
The Institute offers psychoanalytic training designed to prepare candidates for the professional practice of psychoanalysis.
