The Dallas Psychoanalytic Society consists of a group of mental health professionals (M.D.-Psychiatrists, Ph.D-Psychologists, and LMSW-ACP.--Social Workers-Advanced Clinical Practitioners) who have graduated from psychoanalytic institutes of the American Psychoanalytic Association.

These professionals all have had extensive training in the mental health field prior to undertaking psychoanalytic training which takes, on average, eight years to complete. The majority of the members spend a great deal of their professional lives practicing psychoanalysis and psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy.

PURPOSE: To provide a forum for the continuing education of its members, an arena to deal with political issues of the day affecting psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, and to promote the art and science of psychoanalysis, both to its members and to the public at large.

In an effort to inform the public about psychoanalysis and psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy, the Society gives conferences, lectures, and talks open to any who may wish to attend. Members have availed themselves to organizations to speak about aspects of our profession, or to address themselves to various specific topics related to our field.
