AAPE standards meet or exceed the requirements of the International Psychoanalytic Association (IPA). AAPE membership is open to institutes and training programs that meet AAPE educational standards. AAPE membership requires approval by AAPE through a process of self-assessment, site visits, and consultation on standards and accreditation requirements. Institutes and programs affiliated with the American Psychoanalytic Association (APsaA) and in good standing may apply for expedited membership in AAPE.
