Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis

The Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis [1]is an independent psychoanalytic graduate school. It offers Master of Arts in Psychoanalysis, Master of Arts in Psychoanalytic Counseling, and Doctoral programs in psychoanalysis. It is one of few institutes in the world that have regional accreditation.


BGSP accepts students with bachelor's degrees. BGSP also offers a one–year program through its continuing education department for clinical practitioners and professionals.


BGSP’s founders fought for the ability to provide psychoanalytic education without requiring prior training in any other profession. Since the school’s inception in 1973 in Boston, two more campuses were added: Vermont, and New York [2]. The school has a worldwide reputation for excellence in psychoanalytic training. Vermont has since closed.


BGSP teaches the theories Modern psychoanalysis. The BGSP methodology in the classroom integrates intellectual with emotional understanding by encouraging students to consider the dynamics in the classroom and how they underscore theoretical concepts. This emotional learning process is considered by the school's administration to be a key success factor in the development of the therapeutic skills required of an effective psychoanalyst.


The Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis has the philosophy of bringing psychoanalysis everywhere that people can benefit from it-–beyond consulting rooms, but public school classrooms, universities, clinics, private businesses, non-profit agencies, and forums for public policy.
