History

Established in 1931.

The New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, the oldest psychoanalytic organization in the United States, has a long history of leadership in psychoanalytic training and scholarship. At the beginning of the 21^st Century, it remains dedicated to utilizing modern psychoanalytic principles to provide the finest educational, research, and community service activities for mental health professionals and the general public.

Our members, faculty, and students are heirs to a long tradition dating back to the founding of the New York Psychoanalytic Society in 1911 by A. A. Brill, one of the first practicing psychoanalysts in the United States. He was a leader in American psychoanalytic education, the first translator of Freud into English, and a public advocate for psychoanalytic ideas. In 1931, the New York Psychoanalytic Institute was established and more formal psychoanalytic education began. Over the decades many renowned analysts made their professional home at NYPSI. These
