History of PPC

 

The Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Institute was founded in 1964 to train psychoanalysts.  Over the past 50 years, the Institute and its affiliated organizations has trained psychoanalysts and provided psychoanalytic education and services to the Pittsburgh Community.  It has been affiliated with and accredited by the American Psychoanalytic Association (APsaA) and is one of more than 70 psychoanalytic institutes and societies worldwide.  In September, 2007, the Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Society and Institute and the Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Foundation merged to form the Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Center.  The faculty members and Board of Directors of PPC are committed to implementing PPC’s mission: training psychoanalysts, providing psychoanalytic education programs, and supporting organizations providing training in psychoanalytic methods.
