The Postgraduate Center for Mental Health is a private, not-for-profit, multi-site, mental health organization for the people of New York City. Founded in 1945, the Postgraduate Center was the first institute to provide psychotherapeutic treatment and interdisciplinary training in the United States. The purposes of the Center have always been twofold: to train psychoanalysis and other mental health professionals and to provide high quality treatment to those who could otherwise not afford such services.
In 1959, Ted Reiss, the Director of Research at the Center founded and edited The International Mental Health Research Newsletter. In time this newsletter evolved into the first incarnation of the Postgraduate Center journal, Dynamic Psychotherapy. The journal was reborn as Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, in 1993, with the addition of a new illustrious group of editors and editorial board members.
Published by International Universities Press, Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, the journal of the Psychoanalytic Institute of the Postgraduate Centre for Mental Health, reflects the diverse perspectives and interests of this renowned psychoanalytic training program. In keeping with the Postgraduate Center's interdisciplinary tradition, the journal's international editorial board is composed of leading scholars, clinicians, and researchers representing different theoretical orientations to psychoanalysis and its applications. This liaison stimulates an ongoing dialogue between the Psychoanalytic Institute of the Postgraduate Center and the Postgraduate Psychoanalytic Society. Aiming for a rigorous pluralism, Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, is dedicated to the publication of papers that address important themes currently being debated within the broad arena of psychoanalysis. With an emphasis on the clinical situation, papers explore contemporary developments in classical, object relations, self psychological, intersubjective, motivational systems, and social construction
