The American Journal of Psychoanalysis is an international psychoanalytic quarterly founded in 1941 by Karen Horney. The journal's purpose is to be an international forum for communicating a broad range of contemporary theoretical, clinical, professional and cultural concepts of psychoanalysis and for presenting related investigations in allied fields. It is a fully peer-reviewed journal, which welcomes psychoanalytic papers from all schools of thought that address the interests and concerns of scholars and practitioners of psychoanalysis and contribute meaningfully to the understanding of human experience. The AJP publishes original papers, special issues devoted to a single topic, articles on the arts and psychoanalysis, book reviews, film reviews, and comments.
The volumes of the AJP that followed the first issue in 1941 tracked the many subsequent changes in psychoanalysis, with the contributors committed to offering excellent work. The journal first flourished under the editorship of Horney and after her was nurtured and guided by the editorships of Harold Kelman, Ralph Slater, Helen DeRosis, Mario Rendon and Douglas Ingram. The current editor, Giselle Galdi, with the invaluable support of the Editorial Board, is building upon the proud legacy of AJP, against the pull of isolation, or an exclusive adherence to any psychoanalytic thought. In that spirit, in 2001 the scope of the AJP was changed to an international psychoanalytic journal and has consistently published works of authors of all persuasion, and from all over the world, read and refereed by an international editorial board.
Giselle Galdi has been honored to be working with Michele Muñoz, and Lisa Mounts, co-editors. The team is thankful for the opportunity to witness the accomplishments of the American Journal of Psychoanalysis and delighted by its ability to stay vital for 85 precious years.

The Contemporary Psychodynamic Institute is a vibrant learning community for therapists seeking to deepen and hone their practice of psychodynamic psychotherapy. Through workshops, seminars and our signature Relational Psychodynamic Therapy Certificate Program we address a collective lack of home; a global experience of soullessness. Our deeper purpose is found in the root meaning of psychotherapy — soul healing. We believe that what happens “on the couch” extends beyond the room. Healing in relationships impacts the way we relate, and our work has a deep communal impact. We invite you to join us in our relational community and explore our many offerings.

The ability to draw a large number of candidates, eager for training in psychoanalysis, is a hallmark of ICP’s success. Candidates typically are seasoned licensed therapists, including: psychologists, psychiatrists and other physicians, licensed clinical social workers, marriage, family and child therapists or related disciplines such as law, literature, and religion. Advancing the institute’s values of pluralism, participatory democracy, and academic excellence, candidates on all standing committees have full voting participation. In addition, Candidates have two voting seats on the Board of Directors.
In conjunction with the academic programs, ICP offers conferences to members of the scientific and professional communities and the general public. We strive to make important educational material available to the larger public who provide professional services to a vast array of patients and to create an environment that encourages new ideas and the questioning of these ideas. ICP’s conference atmosphere shows great respect for practicing clinicians in every field, offering strong support for new ideas and appreciation for diversity of opinion. Conference locations include Los Angeles, San Francisco, Pasadena, and San Diego.
In addition to the public conferences, the Institute offers an in-house forum to which the entire ICP community, including analytic candidates, psychoanalytic students, and extension division participants, is invited free of charge. These smaller meetings offer topics of particular interest to Members and Candidates. Including discussion and open questioning, these meetings are a favorite of the community as they continue research in an informal setting.
