The Toronto Psychoanalytic Society and Institute
(TPS&I) is an association of professional psychoanalysts
engaged in the development and advancement of clinical
psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic
thought in Toronto.
The Toronto Psychoanalytic Society was founded in
1965 as a branch of the Canadian
Psychoanalytic Society, a component society
of the International
Psychoanalytic Association, the world's leading
association of professional psychoanalysts. The
Toronto Institute of Psychoanalysis was established
in 1969 as a branch of the Canadian Psychoanalytic
Society and Institute, and is now the largest psychoanalytic
training program in Canada. As a component society
of the International Psychoanalytical Association,
and a branch of the Canadian Psychoanalytic Society
and Institute, the TPS&I provides the only training
in clinical psychoanalysis in Toronto with internationally
recognized standards of excellence and ethics.
In addition to the training of psychoanalysts and
psychoanalytic psychotherapists, the TPS&I presents
many educational programs throughout the academic
year that are open to the community. The Advanced
Training Program in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
(ATPPP), in addition to offering a two-year
clinical training program, sponsors biannual Scientific
Sessions that focus on timely clinical and theoretical
issues in long-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
Since 1983, the Extension
Program has offered to the public a series of
courses on a wide range of clinical and applied
psychoanalytic topics, including the highly attended
annual course "Psychoanalysis and Cinema." Monthly
scientific meetings are open to the community and
typically focus on clinical issues that arise in
the clinical practices of members, candidates, or
guests of the TPS&I. In 1990, the signature event
of the TPS&I was established as The
Annual Day in Psychoanalysis and has become
an important event in the education calendar of
Toronto's community of mental health professionals.
With the growing interest in clinical psychoanalysis
and applied psychoanalysis in Toronto, the TPS&I
seeks to reach a broad clinical and academic audience
interested in the full spectrum of psychoanalytical
thought.
Membership in the TPS&I is limited to individuals
who have completed psychoanalytic training at a
branch of the Canadian Psychoanalytic Society and
Institute, or by application from another psychoanalytic
society or institute sanctioned by the International
Psychoanalytical Association.
