Psychotherapy is done in the overlap of the two play areas, that of the patient and that of the therapist.”

HFI Society
Graduates of the Institute who have a Certificate in Psychoanalysis are eligible to join the Institute’s Society of Graduates as full members.
The Society is intended both to represent the interests of graduates and to help support the Institute.
Each year, full members of the Society elect by secret ballot for two-year terms half the members of a four-member advisory committee, which then elects its own officers every year.
The advisory committee is a committee of the Institute that advises the Institute and its board of trustees and works with the Institute’s alumni-affairs coordinator. The coordinator is automatically a fifth member of the committee, if he or she isn’t already an elected member of the committee.
Graduates of the Institute who have received a certificate in psychotherapy or psychoanalytic psychotherapy are eligible to join the society as non-voting affiliate members. The Institute is eager to help such graduates meet the program requirements to receive a full Certificate in Psychoanalysis.
