PSC Subscription
All ACP members receive the Psychoanalytic Study of the Child which is an annual journal, published by Taylor & Francis, which contains scholarly articles on topics related to child psychiatry and psychoanalysis. The journal was founded in 1945 by Anna Freud, Heinz Hartmann, and Ernst Kris.
Website Listing and 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.
Grants
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.
