DISCOVER YOUR PROFESSIONAL HOME

Membership at MIP

The Massachusetts Institute for Psychoanalysis (MIP) is a non-profit 501c3 organization founded in 1987 to provide high quality training through a comparative approach to psychoanalysis. We aim to study the history and practice of psychoanalytic thinking from multiple points of view and taught in open, continuing dialogue. MIP operates through the support of our members, and we ask that you consider joining us.

MIP welcomes everyone in the larger mental health and academic community with an interest in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy to join our membership. Our current membership brings together professionals in the clinical and academic community with our psychoanalytic candidates, postgraduate fellows, graduates, faculty, supervisors, and more. We welcome people from diverse racial & cultural backgrounds and gender orientations.
