The National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis (NPAP) is an organization of psychoanalysts dedicated to the advancement of psychoanalysis as a science and a profession. The organization is based in New York City and was founded by Theodor Reik, a student of Freud, in 1948, following the ideals for the training and practice of psychoanalysis, as envisioned by Sigmund Freud, for the purpose of offering all interested and qualified applicants, including those other than physicians, the opportunity for psychoanalytic study and training in the United States. It has evolved into a vibrant professional association of analysts representing a diversity of theories that comprise contemporary psychoanalytic inquiry. The NPAP's diverse membership is active in research, publication, legislation, public education, and cultural affairs, thus ensuring a psychoanalytic contribution to the community at large. The NPAP also publishes the highly respected and internationally recognized journal The Psychoanalytic Review, the oldest continuously published psychoanalytic journal in the United States.
Mindful of a legacy reaching directly back to Freud, the Institute today offers comprehensive psychoanalytic training grounded in the classical tradition, expanded by contemporary insights, and designed to prepare candidates for the professional practice of psychoanalysis.
