The New Center for Psychoanalysis (NCP) has established a tradition of excellence as a training and research institution that dates back to the mid Twentieth Century. In 2005, the Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Society and Institute (LAPSI) and the Southern California Psychoanalytic Society and Institute (SCPSI) merged into one organization under new bylaws to form the Center. From its inception, The Training School has been dedicated to the study and exploration of the entire spectrum of psychoanalytic theory and practice. NCP's educational principles are based upon the conviction that psychoanalysis as originated by Sigmund Freud and further developed by subsequent psychoanalytic innovators is an ever-evolving science. The Center is affiliated with the American Psychoanalytic Association as well as the International Psychoanalytic Association-a testimony to its high educational standards. Clinical associates are encouraged to participate in these organizations which allow for national and international educational experiences. The Center is a non-profit organization recognized as an institution of learning under the statutes of the State of California and approved under California Education Code 94900 and/or 94915 Article 9.5, to award both a Doctor of Philosophy Degree and Doctor of Psychology Degree in Psychoanalysis. The Center also provides a Certificate of Completion for those who complete all requirements, with the exception of the writing of a doctoral thesis, including participating in the Colloquium.
