Special Membership

Any person who does not fulfill the requirements for regular membership but who possesses a special interest in psychoanalysis may be proposed by any regular or life member for membership as a special member. These must be individuals who have established their special professional qualifications in a field other than psychoanalysis and who through their professional competence demonstrate their capacity to contribute to the purposes of the Society. In addition, graduates of the Advanced Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program, Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy Program, and Child Development Program are eligible to become Special Members. A Special member may be appointed by the President to any Committee of the Society. Special members do not have the right to vote.
