| The Association for Psychoanalytic Medicine (APM) was founded in June 1942, incorporated as a non-profit organization on February 13, 1945, and is a component society of both the American Psychoanalytic Association and the International Psychoanalytical Association. (see our history by Dr. George Daniels -- former APM presidents)
The APM currently has over 280 members in active practice as psychoanalysts and psychoanalysts in training. Most of our active members are graduates of the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research and a small but significant percentage of our membership are graduates of other institutes. All members of our society have doctoral degrees either in medicine or in psychology. mailing address: |
| The mission of The Association for Psychoanalytic Medicine is to foster discussion at the frontiers of clinical, metapsychological, and interdisciplinary topics relevant to the advancement of knowledge in psychoanalysis and to educate its members, psychoanalytic candidates, students, the mental health community, and the general public. The meetings are designed with a level of standard reflecting the clinical and theoretical knowledge of the members of the APM who are qualified by required training and practice standards of the organization. Other qualified professionals in allied fields and the general public are also welcome to attend and participate. |
