Support SPSI
did you know?
Tuition and faculty dues do not cover SPSI's operational expenses. 

We rely on the generosity of friends who value psychoanalytic ideas, our training programs, and our contributions to the community.

Support Spsi

SPSI is the Northwest's oldest American Psychoanalytic Association accredited training institute. Founded in 1948, SPSI has strived for excellence in psychoanalytic training for clinicians, researchers, and academicians. Our graduates and members serve the Northwest community through educational symposia with nationally known speakers, educational programs open to all northwest psychotherapists, consultation to community organizations, and reduced fee psychoanalytic treatment available to the community at large.

All gifts, regardless of size, are welcome and appreciated:

Annual Campaign

SPSI must augment annual revenue from faculty dues and tuition in order to cover operational expenses. The Annual Fund helps support our educational programs and makes, SPSI community projects possible including,

  • ConferenceSPSI's Referral Service - a valuable resource for the Seattle area community, providing referrals for psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, often at a reduced fee.
  • SPSI Continuing Education symposia - bringing eminent psychoanalysts to the Northwest to share knowledge and expertise, and hosting free programs which explore the intersection between the arts and psychoanalysis.
  • SPSI's faculty members not only volunteer to teach in the programs but also consult with community-based organizations to provide psychoanalytically informed perspectives for treatment of homeless and at-risk children.
