The Alliance for Psychoanalytic Thought

The Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia

Who we are:

aPt brings together a diverse group of people who share an interest in applying psychoanalytic ideas to explore and address a variety of interpersonal, social, and cultural needs. We believe that the psychoanalytic perspective is a meaningful vehicle for understanding families, parenting, education, art, literature, politics, cultural differences, and other aspects of work, play and relationships.

We seek to build and strengthen ties between the psychoanalytic community and the community at large. aPt programs foster continuing dialogue and in depth discussions on contemporary issues with attention to the subjective experience of individuals, families, and groups.

aPt objectives:

· Exchanging ideas with parents, teachers, health and mental health professionals, child care workers, artists, writers and others who share our interest in psychoanalytic thought.

· Collaborating with community groups to create programs that explore and increase understanding of their goals and challenges.

· Promoting discussion about conflict and conflict resolution in interpersonal relations and the relations between people and cultures.

· Supporting interdisciplinary programs that open a dialogue about the understanding and application of classical and contemporary psychoanalytic thought.
