Membership
A membership to The Cleveland Psychoanalytic Center serves you in more ways than one: gain anytime access to the Center’s robust library, reduced fees for continuing education programs, as well as the ability to serve on the Center’s committees.
Not only will your membership give you the opportunity to meet like-minded people, but also allows you a voice within the Psychoanalytic field.

If you have never been a member of CPC or have not been a member in the past three years, please submit a “New Member” application detailing your professional and educational background. All applications will be reviewed by our Governance Committee* and you will be notified within 10 days.
If you are not a current member but were in the last three years or are a current CPC student, please complete the “Former Member/Current Student” application.
