Membership Thank you for your interest in Div. 39 (Society for Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Psychology). With membership, you will be part of a contemporary psychoanalytic and psychodynamic community that supports pluralism and diversity in practice, theory and scholarship. This page highlights important aspects of the division and benefits of membership; for full information, please look over the rest of this website. Activities of the Division Our twice-yearly meetings sponsor symposia and workshops, as well as offering continuing education and highlighting the cutting edge of current psychoanalytic thinking. This includes the summer meeting as part of the larger APA national convention and the division's annual spring meeting. These meetings are also valuable opportunities to network with colleagues. The division has stimulated the development of interdisciplinary local chapters and training institutes. Interested psychologists are encouraged to participate in both local and national levels of the division's activities. A further benefit of joining the division is the opportunity to participate on a variety of email discussion groups, including list groups for early career and graduate student members.
