The Institute is the outward face and training body of the British Psychoanalytical Society (BPAS), which was founded in 1913. We are lucky to have counted among our numbers such distinguished psychoanalysts as Michael Balint, Wilfred Bion, John Bowlby, Anna Freud, Melanie Klein, Joseph Sandler, Donald Winnicott and Hannah Segal. Together, our members have made an unrivalled contribution to the understanding and treatment of mental illness.
