Our Mission

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide education and service initiatives that are grounded in contemporary psychoanalytic thought.

We have three principle areas of focus:

(1) On-going continuing education programs, which can be taken independently along with short courses;
(2) To support a comprehensive formal training program, The Institute for Relational Psychoanalysis of Philadelphia (IRPP); and
(3) A community service initiative.

Running through all of our activities is a commitment to work with children, adolescents, and adults, in their multiple systemic contexts, such as families, culture and history.
