Extension Committee Deborah Barchat, Ph.D. and Barbara Kravitz, Psy.D., Extension Committee Co-Chairs History
The Extension Committee has a long history. The first series of lecture courses open to psychiatrists in New York City was organized in 1922. The establishment of the Extension Committee as an official entity coincided with the inception of The New York Psychoanalytic Institute in 1931. Since then it has offered a rich and varied curriculum of lectures and seminars for psychiatrists, nonpsychiatric physicians, psychologists, social workers, teachers, and academics from a wide variety of disciplines. In 1947 the School of Applied Psychoanalysis of The New York Psychoanalytic Institute was established, with offerings covering the application of psychoanalysis to anthropology, politics, religion, group psychology, and literature. In the early 1970’s the Institute’s School of Applied Psychoanalysis gave way to a Committee of Post-Graduate Studies for Members of the Society and an Extension Committee for the larger community. The Extension Committee has embarked on a program of growth and expansion. Interdisciplinary colloquia, seminars and study groups are offered to mental health practitioners and interested members of the community across a wide range of topics. The courses continue to emphasize psychoanalytic approaches to aspects of psychotherapy practice, and include explorations of literature and related humanities.For a detailed brochure and application, write to The New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, 247 East 82nd Street, New York, NY 10028 or call (212) 879-6900 or email info@nypsa.org.
