New York Psychoanalytic Society & Institute
The New York Psychoanalytic Society & Institute's (NYPSI) position as the oldest psychoanalytic organization in the Americas parallels its global leadership role in the history of psychoanalysis and its influence on the cultural and intellectual life of New York City. The Society was founded in 1911 by A.A. Brill, one of the first practicing psychoanalysts in the United States and the first translator of Freud into English. In 1931, the Institute was established to oversee formal training. NYPSI was recently recognized as one of the twenty best lecture series and venues in the city by TimeOut New York[1]. NYPSI's mission is to provide the highest level of psychoanalytic training to mental health professionals, promote excellence in psychoanalytic research and offer a range of educational, advisory and affordable therapeutic service programs to the New York community.
The charter members were: Louis Edward Bisch, Brill, Horace Westlake Frink, Frederick James Farnell, William C. Garvin, August Hoch, Morris J. Karpas, George H. Kirby, Clarence P. Oberndorf, Bronislaw Onuf, Ernest Marsh Poate, Charles Ricksher, Jacob Rosenbloom, Edward Wheeler Scripture and Samuel A. Tannenbaum[2].
The institute was a professional home to some of the leaders in psychoanalytic education and treatment, such as Margaret Mahler, Ernst Kris, Kurt Eissler, Heinz Hartmann, Abram Kardiner, Rudolph Loewenstein, Charles Brenner, and Otto Kernberg.
