“The institute of contemporary psychoanalysis was formed in 1990 to offer mental health professionals, as well as scholars and professionals from other fields, the opportunity to study the full scope of psychoanalytic theory and clinical practice. To that end, training is offered to members of the mental health community who are independently licensed practitioners, and to scholars from any field in the application of psychoanalytic thought to their particular area of scholarship and endeavor. The institute of contemporary psychoanalysis offers students not only a firm grounding in shared basic assumptions that underlie a psychoanalytic approach, but also a full sense of the ferment, excitement and creativity extant in psychoanalysis today. We will convey an appreciation for the variety of analytic stances, modes of listening, and therapeutic attitudes that characterize a field alive with both controversy and conviction. The administrative structures and teaching methods to be implemented in the institute of contemporary psychoanalysis have been organized to enhance open discussion, critical thinking, and a spirit of inquiry among candidates and instructors. Thus academic freedom becomes a significant value for the institute of contemporary psychoanalysis. It is deemed essential by us in order to facilitate the achievement of our central purpose: to convey a sense of psychoanalysis as an evolving and developing science in which healthy controversy exists in all areas and at all levels from our most basic assumptions about human nature to the statement of clinical theories and methods. More specifically, the purposes of the institute of contemporary psychoanalysis include: a)to offer mental health professionals and scholars and professionals from other fields the opportunity to study the full scope of psychoanalytic theory, research, and clinical practice. B)to offer training in psychotherapy. C)to offer educational programs, workshops, and scientific meetings to the mental health community and to the public at large. D)to work in cooperative projects with all segments of the community, including education, business, and the scientific, artistic, and philanthropic communities. E)to offer advanced degrees, including the phd and psyd in psychoanalysis, etc. F)to establish scientific publications for the dissemination of psychoanalytic knowledge. G)to establish procedures for fund-raising in support of the institute's overall activities. H)to establish a psychoanalytic clinic to offer low fee and no fee psychoanalysis for appropriate individuals. I)to establish educational facilities to support our programs. J)to extend psychoanalytical scholarship into all academic venues, e.g., universities, colleges, etc.”
