Associate Membership
SFCP is excited to announce the launch of our new, full membership category, Associate Membership.
The guiding principle is that extending voting rights in this way will invigorate our membership through inclusion of people who have not typically engaged in psychoanalytic candidacy. We hope this enfranchisement will be a part of recognizing what non-traditional psychoanalytic practitioners can bring to SFCP and help make SFCP a Center which is more inclusive, diverse and equitable.
Community Members who meet the below requirements are invited to apply for Associate Membership. If your membership is approved, you will be admitted into this category, without dues, until January 1, 2023.
As of January 1, 2023, if you elect to continue as an Associate Member, annual dues will be $350.
