Mayor Daley of Chicago issued a proclamation on October 1, 1967, honoring the 35th Anniversary of the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis. He characterized the Institute's task of training psychiatrists in psychoanalysis as “a valuable source for sustaining and studying mental health”.

The Chicago Institute was founded in 1932 by the late Franz Alexander. Its Clinic, founded the same year, is the largest of the low-cost analytic clinics (see page 3).
