Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute - North (BPSI North)

 

BPSI North is a satellite committee of the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute in Newton Centre, Mass. Founded in 2011, we are a consortium of BPSI-trained clinicians practicing in far-flung areas all over New Hampshire and Vermont and headquartered in the Upper Valley region in Hanover, NH. This group includes clinicians trained at BPSI as well as other APSAA approved psychoanalytic institutes.

Connections are maintained to BPSI and the Boston psychoanalytic community through the generous outreach of BPSI faculty who travel to Hanover to give weekend presentations and workshops to the BPSI-North membership. Invited speakers from Boston are treated to an overnight stay at the Norwich Inn. A welcoming dinner the evening before the workshop kicks off the weekend, and any BPSI North member attending the workshop is welcome to join this dinner. Informal Saturday morning workshops are hosted in members’ homes and include a meet-and-greet over coffee and pastries, a three-hour presentation, and time for discussion and networking. BPSI North aims to host four workshops a year, two in the fall and two in the spring, and make CEUs available whenever possible. They welcome clinicians who are psychoanalytically oriented, whether they are very experienced or just starting their career. Members are also invited to submit proposals for clinical workshops to the BPSI North steering committee

Psychotherapy Action Network - PsiAN

The Psychotherapy Action Network grew from the energy generated by a conference sponsored by the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis in Chicago in 2017.  That conference outlined the various ways in which therapies of depth, insight and relationship have been marginalized, and then sounded a rallying cry to protect them.  Building on the energy and enthusiasm from the conference participants, our goal was to create a big tent to unite supporters of psychotherapy and speak up with a unified voice.  

Since then, we are proud of what we have been able to accomplish. PsiAN has already taken its place among leading mental health advocacy organizations, and our voice has earned the respect of educators, policy makers, clinicians, and the media. They look to us to speak out and stand up for efforts to defend and advance psychotherapy. Our individual membership and Strategic Partners continue to grow in strength and numbers, and we are proud to have assembled a Board of Directors and an Advisory Board of exemplary researchers, scholars, clinicians, and advocates of therapy.  

We pledge to work diligently to advocate for therapies of depth, insight and relationship, and to engage policy makers, the general public, and our own professional organizations to advance psychotherapy for the next generation and beyond.
