Welcome

The Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis was founded in 1991 by a group of senior psychoanalysts in the Los Angeles area who saw the need for a new approach to psychoanalytic training. ICP is organized in a non-hierarchical manner; decision making is vested in a Board of Directors, elected by members and candidates, and representative of each constituency. The Institute is free-standing; it is our conviction that a democratic, contemporary and open psychoanalytic education can best be effected independently of existing national and international psychoanalytic organizations.

Active participation and exploration of different points of view among candidates and faculty is encouraged.

Candidates have a significant impact on the form and content of their education. The model is postgraduate university education with a relatively small number of required courses and considerable freedom to shape one’s own program from electives and independent study projects.
