Through years of involvement with Austin Psychoanalytic, including three as a board member, I’ve built genuine friendships with colleagues who share my passion for psychoanalytic thinking. The organization has connected me with wonderful speakers and a network that spans the U.S. and abroad. These relationships and this knowledge didn’t come from anywhere else.

I wouldn’t be who I am professionally without it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits for students who wish to join?

Graduate students receive substantially reduced membership and conference fees, and have the opportunity to become part of a mentoring program, making it easier to become part of the psychoanalytic community early in their careers.

Are all programs on Zoom?

Many of our educational programs are held on Zoom. We have found that this helps us invite speakers and engage participants from around the country. We value connection in person as well, so we will be hosting a few hybrid conferences and also have monthly social events.

How do I access my CE certificates?

Members can now login to download their certificates from their account. You can access your account by retrieving your password here. Make sure to use an email that you have registered with us before (hint: check your registration receipt).

Can I be a member of Austin Psychoanalytic if I’m not located in Austin?

Yes, you are welcome to be a part of Austin Psychoanalytic even if you are not physically located in Austin. Many programs take place on Zoom, so you can easily take part in those.
