MPSI Society General Information

An outline of how the Minnesota Psychoanalytic Society operates is provided by a listing of its constituent committees: the Program Committee (responsible for planning and presenting psychoanalytic conferences, symposia, and other events), the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Training Program Committee, the Institute Education Committee, the Library Committee, and the Public Relations Committee. Membership in the Society is open to members and candidates of institutes of the American Psychoanalytic Association or the International Psychoanalytical Association, and to students and graduates of the Society-sponsored psychoanalytic psychotherapy training program.

Psychoanalytic education is a complex process that integrates the development of theoretical and practical knowledge with the development of a healthy and healing character. At the Minnesota Psychoanalytic Institute, this process is fostered by an approach that is open, personal, and genuinely supportive.
