Membership

Our twice-yearly meetings sponsor symposia and workshops, as well as offering continuing education and highlighting the cutting edge of current psychoanalytic thinking. This includes the summer meeting as part of the larger APA national convention and the division's annual spring meeting. These meetings are also valuable opportunities to network with colleagues.

The division has stimulated the development of interdisciplinary local chapters and training institutes. Interested psychologists are encouraged to participate in both local and national levels of the division's activities.

A further benefit of joining the division is the opportunity to participate on a variety of email discussion groups, including list groups for early career and graduate student members.
 
Members are eligible for a variety of awards, as well as stipends to assist participation at our spring meeting. Awards are available for every level of professional development including students and early career members.

The division's official journal, Psychoanalytic Psychology, is recognized as a significant psychoanalytic publication. Articles are theoretically diverse and include scholarly theoretical, clinical and research papers. The journal serves as a resource for original contributions that reflect and broaden the interaction between psychoanalysis and psychology.

• DIVISION/Review  is the division's quarterly psychoanalytic forum. It is a journal of review essays, commentary, book reviews, interviews and discussion. It is open to viewpoints from across the spectrum of psychoanalytic schools and disciplines. The review primarily addresses topics related to clinical psychoanalysis, but it also explores application of psychoanalytic ideas to society, culture and politics.
• InSight , a monthly eNews publication, is distributed on the first of the month and contains important updates related to division activities, recent publications of our members and information about how psychoanalysis is portrayed in the media.
• PsycScan:Psychoanalysis (formerly Psychoanalytic Abstracts) is an online publication that indexes and abstracts all the major psychoanalytic journals as well as books.
• Psychoanalytic Electronic Publishing Archive (PEP). The division has negotiated a special reduced rate for its members. All members are eligible to subscribe to PEP-Web at a substantially reduced rate. In addition, division members are eligible to subscribe to a number of psychoanalytic publications at a reduced rate, including Psychoanalytic Dialogues and the International Journal of Psychoanalysis. Instructions may be found on the division website.
