The New York Freudian Society and Psychoanalytic Training Institute were founded in 1959 to provide training and a collegial community for psychoanalysts from many disciplines.
The Society became a Provisional Member of the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA) in 1989 and a Component Society in 1993. The IPA is the oldest and largest international psychoanalytic organization and the world's primary accrediting and regulatory body for psychoanalysis.
