Our Faculty

Many scholars and mental health professionals are drawn to the William Alanson White Institute’s educational programs because of the sense of community that begins in training and continues long after graduation. In recognition of the influence of psychoanalytic training in the professional and personal lives of Institute graduates, many of our psychoanalysts and graduates of our other programs continue to remain actively involved with the Institute in numerous capacities. Among other contributions, graduates serve as members of the faculty, as supervisors or as psychoanalysts to the current candidates.
