Website Listing and Roster  Search the Member Roster

 

All ACP members receive access to the members only section of the ACP website.  This section includes a searchable online directory of current ACP members, as well as a document archive, full membership roster, and other pertinent information.  Members will also be able to post a listing in the “Public Member Directory” section of the website, which allows members of the public to search for a child analyst by name or location.

 

Newsletter  View Past Newsletters

 

ACP members also receive a subscription to the ACP Newsletter.  The Newsletter is published bi-annually and is available for members only. It includes important information about the Association’s activities, as well as scholarly articles and updates by ACPmembers. 

 

Grants View Grant Information

  The ACP provides grant funds to ACP members annually to support the low-fee psychoanalysis of children and adolescents.  It issues this funding through a supporting institution to be given to a child analytic candidate or graduate child psychoanalyst working with a qualifying case. 

 

In order to qualify for a grant, the fee paid by the family must not exceed $50, and the child must be in analysis at the time of application.  Grant applications are available from the 

ACP office or on the "members only" section of the website and must be returned by October 31.   

 

Grants are awarded in December of each year and are renewable up to a maximum of two years.
