Our Vision

Vision Statement

We envision a psychoanalytic community that embodies the depth and vitality of British Object Relations, Bionian, and Post-Bionian traditions—where training, supervision, and theoretical inquiry are rooted in curiosity, emotional truth, and rigorous thinking. Through our commitment to excellence in education, scholarship, and professional development, we aim to be a leading force in shaping the future of psychoanalysis—locally and globally—while fostering emotional growth, creativity, and resilience in the individuals and communities served by psychoanalytic work.




Our Mission

Our mission is to

  1. Deliver premier psychoanalytic education and training for individuals aspiring to become psychoanalysts and psychoanalytically informed psychotherapists, with a dedicated focus on British Object Relations theory, the work of Wilfred Bion, and contemporary Post-Bionian clinical practice;
  2. Foster the ongoing professional growth and development of our analyst members, candidates, and community members through rigorous scholarship, mentorship, and collegial exchange;
  3. Advance regional, national, and international understanding of mental life by contributing original thought and research to the evolving field of psychoanalysis; and
  4. Promote emotional health, creativity, and well-being for those we serve through the ethical and compassionate practice of psychoanalysis.
