Our Mission:

The mission of the Psychoanalytic Association of New York is to promote mental health through advanced clinical training, treatment, and scholarship.

Our primary goals are to:

• Train dedicated and talented mental health professionals to help patients work through their emotional difficulties so that they may lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. PANY offers a wide range of psychoanalytically-focused education programs locally and internationally to achieve this end.
• Provide, through PANY’s Consultation and Treatment Service, affordable and accessible psychotherapy and psychoanalysis to underserved members of the community and in need of mental health care;
• Educate fellow mental health professionals, as well as the general public, about the enduring efficacy of psychoanalytically-based treatments, through outreach seminars, clinical case conferences and lectures;
• Foster scholarship and promote inquiry into matters that lie at the heart of psychoanalysis, especially the conflicts and complexities of human experience.
