The mission of the St. Louis Psychoanalytic Institute is to advance psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic thought, through training, treatment, education, and research to benefit the mental health of our diverse community.
As part of our reach in the St. Louis community, the St. Louis Psychoanalytic Institute has several initiatives to help promote mental health further.
We provide community education programs in the community in an effort to illuminate the complexities of human interaction and enrich community life. The Centene Charitable Speaker Series, for example, focuses on timely issues such as childhood trauma, while other series’ may focus on varied opportunities to apply psychoanalytic ideas to noteworthy films, plays, books and more. Other Special Lectures include the I.H Cohn, MD Lecture, the Paul A. Dewald, MD Lecture, the Hyman H. Fingert, MD Lecture and an unnamed Spring Community Lecture on a social issue.

Our footprint is both local and global. Our Faculty, Graduates, and Alumni are highly active in the St. Louis metro-area social agencies, school systems, universities, child centers, private practices, and more. They give presentations, lectures and participate in symposia around the country and the world, representing the Institute and its core values.
