Here you will find information about the ACP, its members, and the way we assist children, parents, and others concerned with children. Naturally, any suggestions you may find here will be very "generic" in nature; in our experience, advice always needs to be fitted to the individual child, family, and situation. You will find a variety of resources, as well as links to other sites and organizations. If you wish to talk with a child psychoanalyst regarding a specific issue, you can search for someone who practices near you.
The Association for Child Psychoanalysis (ACP) is an international not-for-profit organization. All its members are highly trained child and adolescent psychoanalysts. The organization was founded in 1965 to provide a forum for the interchange of ideas and clinical experience in order to advance the psychological treatment and understanding of children and adolescents and their families.
