The American Psychoanalytic Association (APsA) is an association of psychoanalysts in the United States. APsA serves as a scientific and professional organization with a focus on education, research, and membership development.[2]
APsA comprises 34 training institutes[3] and 38 affiliate societies. Individual mental health practitioners, academics, and researchers who are not affiliated with a psychoanalytic institute or society may belong as associate members.[4] At the association's biannual meetings held in February and June, members convene to exchange ideas, present research, and discuss training and membership issues. APsA has over 3,000 members, including psychiatrists, clinical psychologists and experimental psychologists, and social workers.[5]
