Testimonials
NAAP helped me develop my professional network and prepared my transition into a thriving private practice. While serving as chair of the Analysts in Training committee, I developed close relationships with candidates from many institutes. Additionally, NAAP simplified the licensing process and made me realize how valuable the professional distinction is. Furthermore, their legislative efforts contribute hugely to the recognition of our license, ensuring a prosperous future for psychoanalysis.
Warren Holt, Chair, AIT CommitteePsychoanalysis is built on tradition, learning, innovation, and community. These have been the cornerstones of my 30-year relationship with NAAP. When I began training in the eighties, joining NAAP felt like a special privilege, and these feelings have never left me. The incredible network of students, clinicians, and scholars, and the NAAP team, have profoundly affected the evolution and success of my psychoanalytic career. Their emphasis on fellowship, lifelong learning, and dedication to alleviating human suffering makes NAAP a key resource. And by appreciating challenging ideas, they’re a leader in the promotion of psychoanalytic principles and practice.
Jack Schwartz, PsyaD, memberNAAP has an “umbrella” (perhaps a wide, parental) kind of feeling for me. And this has stretched over the various parts of my professional analytic life, linking a host of assorted lines: legislative concerns, academics and training, and ongoing education. As a result, I’ve met bright, humane people who make my life richer in so many ways.
