American Academy of Psychodynamic Psychiatry and Psychoanalysis

About This Association

Founded in 1956, the Academy has been open to physicians with legitimate training in psychoanalysis, and membership was opened to those psychiatrists who have demonstrated an interest in psychodynamic psychotherapy. Psychodynamic psychiatrists were offered membership, and this expansion of the membership was signaled by the name change to the American Academy of Psychoanalysis and Psychodynamic Psychiatry (AAPDP) in 2001. The Academy became an affiliate organization of the American Psychiatric Association, indicating the organization’s status as representing the importance of psychodynamic psychotherapy within the practice of psychiatry. Membership has been opened to psychiatric residents and medical students as well.
