The American Board for Accreditation in Psychoanalysis

ABAP is open to all psychoanalytic institutes, whose training and education programs it reviews and accredits for up to seven years.

The American Board for Accreditation in Psychoanalysis (ABAP) is a national, big-tent, psychoanalytic-standard bearer for pluralism and quality within psychoanalytic training. ABAP, which three years ago developed Core Competencies for Psychoanalytic Training, currently groups together 12 institutes from New York, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia, including NPAP in Greenwich Village, the oldest nonmedical institute in the Americas, and the Harlem Family Institute, a diversity-sensitive training institute. ABAP is eager to draw more institutes under its accreditation umbrella, and it deliberately avoids two key areas that have traditionally split the profession – frequency and theoretical orientation – believing these are best left to individual institutes. In addition, the New York State Education Department recognizes completion of a program accredited by ABAP as meeting its psychoanalytic education requirements for a license in psychoanalysis. ABAP is also the only accreditor that reviews and accredits licensure-qualifying programs in psychoanalysis.
