The National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis (NPAP) is a cornerstone in American psychoanalytic education and practice. For over 70 years, we’ve championed the belief that professionals from diverse fields should practice psychoanalysis, fostering an environment where varied viewpoints thrive.
NPAP emerged from Reik’s vision of psychoanalysis as an independent profession, open to qualified individuals regardless of their medical background. Despite facing opposition from the American psychoanalytic establishment, Reik and his colleagues persevered, creating an institute that would become one of the oldest and largest of its kind in the United States.
Today, NPAP continues its commitment to inclusive, high-quality psychoanalytic education and practice, honoring Reik’s legacy while evolving to meet contemporary needs.
National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis (NPAP) is founded by Theodor Reik and a small group of psychoanalysts.
