The Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute provides professional training in psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis using a contemporary model of psychoanalytic thought relevant to individual and community life.
Since its founding in 1932, The Institute has contributed to the expansion of the psychoanalytic education and knowledge through education and scholarship. The Institute's Treatment Center provides psychoanalytically informed services on a sliding scale for children, adolescents and adults. Its community engagement programs bring psychoanalytic ideas to public discussions of cultural and social issues.
