The Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute (BPSI) is a membership organization with three principal programs: professional
training, scientific activities, and service to the Boston and New England community of those interested in psychoanalysis
and its applications. The Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute (BPSI) is an American Psychoanalytic Association's affiliate
society. The training, postgraduate and continuing education programs are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing
Medical Education through the American Psychoanalytic Association, the American Psychological Association, and for individual
programs for social workers, the Massachusetts Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers. The Boston Psychoanalytic
Alliance is a division of the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. BPSI became a formally recognized member of the
American Psychoanalytic Association in 1933. The Hanns Sachs Library and Archives have existed since 1937.
The collection includes assorted correspondence, material related to plans for the building at 15 Commonwealth Avenue, administrative
materials from the early years of BPSI (syllabi, class schedule, events, etc.), minutes from meetings of several different
committees, including but not limited to the following committees: Financial Situation, Institute Analysis, Faculty, Education,
Nominating, Executive, Review, and Librarian and Archives. Eighteen years worth of Audited Reports of the Treasurers. Various
other materials. Recent additions to this collection includes BPSI committee listings and rosters from 1930 to 2010.
