This paper introduces and elaborates the establishment of the first formal training program in Community Psychoanalysis at an accredited psychoanalytic institution: the Community Psychoanalysis Track at the Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California, and the affiliated Community Psychoanalysis Consortium. We see this as a ground-breaking step in which the formal definition and scope of psychoanalysis is fundamentally transformed; it marks a sea change in what can be formally considered the domain of psychoanalysis, who it serves and what is deemed teachable in a psychoanalytic institute. We situate the development of this training model in a larger psychoanalytic history, and describe fundamental principles that undergird it.
