WPSP

Washington Professionals for the Study of Psychoanalysis (WPSP) was organized in 1980 by a group of psychologists, most of them clinicians, who were interested in a forum for professional communication and exploration of the clinical and theoretical aspects of psychoanalysis from a variety of perspectives. WPSP was one of the first groups to be admitted as a Local Chapter of Division 39 (Psychoanalysis) of the American Psychological Association. What began as a small group, meeting monthly in members’ homes, has expanded to an organization where meetings are attended by interested professionals from the wider community.

Today WPSP offers its members nearly a dozen opportunities to earn continuing education credits (CEU’s) in small study groups. A list of the 2007-2008 Study Groups is available on the WPSP website www.washpsp.org. For membership information please contact Joyce Raum, MSW at raumjoyce@aol.com.
