The Washington Psychoanalytic Society and Institute continues to maintain a vital and active presence in the metropolitan area. At the present time, the Society provides an average of 9 scientific meetings and workshops annually for its 211 members and publishes a bi-annual newsletter for its members and candidates. Since 1933, the Society has sponsored a reduced-fee psychoanalytic clinic for the greater Washington community. Currently, members and candidates, through the clinic, provides more than 5,000 psychoanalytic hours per year. The administration of the Clinic has been transferred to the Washington Psychoanalytic Foundation in anticipation that the Clinic will become more visible to the public at large. The Institute, which is the teaching arm of the Society, has had a first-year class every year since 1952 and currently has an enrollment of 56 candidates. The faculty consists of thirty supervising and training analysts and sixty-nine additional faculty members. In addition to the adult curriculum, the Institute's Child/Adolescent Analytic Training Program is very strong with thirteen candidates enrolled. In the child/adolescent program, there are nine supervising analysts and eleven additional faculty members. Since 1964, there have been twenty-eight graduates of the Child/Adolescent Analytic Training Program.
The members and candidates of the Society and Institute are very actively involved in teaching at the local universities, working in clinics, and providing a wide range of services to various organizations throughout the metropolitan area. Recently, the Society supported the formation of the Washington Psychoanalytic Foundation whose objective is to provide a broad range of activities, educational opportunities, and other services to our community. The Foundation is responsible for the continued development of the very successful psychoanalytic psychotherapy training program which was begun under the auspices of the Society. Since its inception, the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Training program has had eleven graduates and currently has an enrollment of nineteen students in its three-year program. In February 1992, the Foundation sponsored a successful and well-received scientific program in Aspen, Colorado, which included psychoanalysts from Germany as well as from other societies of the American.
