Institute of Psychoanalysis

The Institute of Psychoanalysis was set up in the early 1920's, following the establishment of the British Psychoanalytical Society.

It was intended to meet the needs of therapists with the expansion of psychoanalysis in the United Kingdom after the first World War.

It was established to administer the Society’s activities including: the training of psychoanalysts, the development of the theory and practice of psychoanalysis, the provision of treatment through The London Clinic of Psychoanalysis, the publication of books and journals, maintaining a library, furthering research, and public education
