Academy of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy is a professional association focused on psychoanalytic training and clinical psychotherapy. The organization operates in the tradition of psychoanalytic thought influenced by figures associated with Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Alfred Adler, Anna Freud, and Melanie Klein, while interacting with institutions such as Columbia University, New York University, Yale University, Harvard University and University of Pennsylvania.
The Academy was founded in the mid-20th century amid debates that involved Sigmund Freud, Erik Erikson, Anna Freud, Melanie Klein, and Heinz Hartmann and grew alongside organizations like International Psychoanalytical Association, American Psychoanalytic Association, Psychoanalytic Electronic Publishing, British Psychoanalytical Society, and New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. Early governance reflected tensions present in disputes involving Sandor Ferenczi, Wilfred Bion, Donald Winnicott, and John Bowlby and responded to developments in clinical practice from centers such as Menninger Clinic, Kendall Hospital, Allen Memorial Hospital, and Massachusetts General Hospital. Over time the Academy formed partnerships with universities and hospitals connected to Mount Sinai Hospital, Bellevue Hospital, Beth Israel Hospital, and Montefiore Medical Center while members contributed to dialogs with American Psychological Association, Association for Psychoanalytic Thought, National Institutes of Health, and World Health Organization.
The Academy's stated mission aligns with traditions traced through Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, Carl Jung, Anna Freud, and Melanie Klein and emphasizes clinical competence similar to programs at Columbia University, Harvard University, Yale University, University of California, Los Angeles, and University of Michigan. Governance is typically handled by a board that includes members with affiliations to New York University, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Weill Cornell Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, and University of Pennsylvania, and committees reflect specialty areas seen at American Psychoanalytic Association, International Psychoanalytical Association, Association for Psychoanalytic Thought, and American Psychiatric Association.
Training curricula combine analytic theory from Sigmund Freud, Anna Freud, Melanie Klein, Heinz Hartmann, and Wilfred Bion with supervised clinical work modeled after programs at Columbia University, New York University, Yale University, Harvard University, and University of Pennsylvania. Didactic seminars often reference texts by Sigmund Freud, Anna Freud, Melanie Klein, Jacques Lacan, and Erik Erikson and mirror case conference formats used at Massachusetts General Hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital, Bellevue Hospital, and Montefiore Medical Center. Advanced fellowships have connections with clinical rotations similar to those at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Stanford Hospital, UCLA Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic.
Clinical services include long-term psychoanalytic treatment, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and consultation-liaison models aligned with services at Mount Sinai Hospital, Bellevue Hospital, Beth Israel Hospital, Montefiore Medical Center, and Massachusetts General Hospital. The Academy maintains affiliations and referral relationships with institutions such as Columbia University Irving Medical Center, Weill Cornell Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Yale-New Haven Hospital, and Johns Hopkins Hospital and participates in multidisciplinary collaborations similar to efforts at Mayo Clinic, Stanford Health Care, UCLA Health, and Cleveland Clinic.
Research activities draw on clinical case series and theoretical inquiry influenced by publications from Sigmund Freud, Anna Freud, Melanie Klein, Wilfred Bion, and Heinz Hartmann and are disseminated through journals and presses associated with American Psychoanalytic Association, International Journal of Psychoanalysis, Psychoanalytic Quarterly, Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association, and Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic. Members have presented findings at conferences hosted by American Psychiatric Association, American Psychological Association, International Psychoanalytical Association, Association for Psychoanalytic Thought, and World Federation for Mental Health.
Membership categories resemble those found in professional bodies such as American Psychoanalytic Association, International Psychoanalytical Association, American Psychiatric Association, American Psychological Association, and regional societies like New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute and Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute. Accreditation standards reference training expectations comparable to accreditation frameworks at Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, Council on Accreditation, National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants, and academic program norms at Columbia University, Harvard University, Yale University, and University of Pennsylvania.
