History

The Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis (ICP&P) was founded in 1994 by a multi-disciplinary group of colleagues. Its hallmarks are cooperation, mutual respect, openness to new ideas, and ease of access to leadership.  Our community is lively and diverse, benefiting from the training and creative talents of members with backgrounds in social work, psychology, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, nursing and pastoral counseling.  We welcome to our membership all persons interested in contemporary approaches to mental health issues.

Our mission is to provide an environment which supports the thoughtful consideration of optimal ways to employ therapeutic modalities of exploratory psychotherapy and psychoanalysis with individuals, couples, groups and families. In pursuit of this goal we present numerous educational opportunities to our members and to the surrounding mental health community.  ICP&P offers long term training in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and couples therapy for those interested in pursuing [self psychological and other] contemporary psychoanalytic models in depth. From time to time, shorter trainings are offered in specific treatment areas. In addition, several half-day programs featuring well known and innovative leaders in the mental health field are offered throughout the year.  For members only, ICP&P also sponsors monthly study groups on topics reflecting the interests of its members.
