British Society of Psychoanalysis

The British Psychoanalytic Society (BPS) is a professional organization dedicated to the study and practice of psychoanalysis, a field focused on understanding how unconscious thoughts and feelings influence behavior and mental health. Founded in 1913, it brings together clinicians, researchers, and students to promote training, research, and ethical standards. The BPS supports the development of psychoanalytic ideas and their application in areas like mental health treatment, education, and social issues. Its aim is to deepen understanding of the human mind and improve well-being through best clinical practice and ongoing learning.
