Toronto Psychoanalytic Society & Institute

The Toronto Psychoanalytic Society (TPS) is an association of psychoanalysts who through having completed their training have qualified for membership in the TPS, CPS and IPA. The Toronto Institute of Psychoanalysis (TIP) is composed of senior members of the TPS who have, in addition, qualified as Training & Supervising Analysts. They are charged with the responsibility of analyzing and supervising candidates in training. They also oversee the processes of admission of candidates, the assessment of their progress in training, the development and administration of the curriculum, the evaluation of members of the TPS who have applied to become training analysts, among other functions. The TIP was established in 1969 as a branch of the Canadian Institute of Psychoanalysis (CIP). The TIP is now the largest psychoanalytic training program in Canada. As a component society of the IPA and a branch of the CIP, the TIP provides the only training in clinical psychoanalysis in Toronto with internationally recognized standards of excellence and ethics.
