TAMPA BAY
     Institute for Psychoanalytic Studies
MISSION STATEMENT


The primary mission of the Tampa Bay Institute for Psychoanalytic Studies is to train
the next generation of psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists in the
theory, practice, and research in modern psychoanalysis.

Psychoanalysis is a theory of the mind, a method of investigation, and a treatment
procedure that posits the interacting effects of endogenous emotional  experiences,
psychological development through the life cycle, and relations with the environment in
the production of mental conflict and distress.

Ultimate questions of the validity of different approaches to these questions await
answers from research inside and outside of psychoanalysis.  Therefore, we feel that
our educational mission is best served by a spirit of collegiality, openness, and humility
in the face of complexity.
