Mission Statement:
The Accreditation Council for Psychoanalytic Education, Inc. (ACPEinc) has a two fold mission: to protect the public by evaluating and accrediting psychoanalytic training programs in the United States and to promote excellence in psychoanalytic education. By its accrediting function, the ACPEinc aims to assure that practitioners of psychoanalysis are educated to appropriate standards by their training institutions. These standards are based on those developed by the Psychoanalytic Consortium, an association of four major U.S. psychoanalytic membership organizations that together represent the majority of psychoanalysts in the United States: The American Academy of Psychoanalysis and Dynamic Psychiatry, the American Psychoanalytic Association, Division 39 (Psychoanalysis) of the American Psychological Association, and the National Membership Committee on Psychoanalysis in Clinical Social Work.
