The INSTITUT DE PSYCHANALYSE, Paris, was formally opened on June 1, 1954, under the presidency of Monsieur André Marie, Minister of National Education, and of Monsieur Paul Coste-Floret, Minister of Public Health and Population.

Located in the Latin Quarter, the heart of the liberal and University traditions of Paris, the Institute consists of a training center in the theory and practice of psychoanalysis—the only such center in France accredited by the International Psychoanalytic Association—and includes a psychoanalytic clinic for therapy.
