ABRAPlp — upon fulfillment of legal requirements and its internal regulations — respects and promotes psychoanalytic education by developing clear, consistent, and transparent standards that can be widely applied within the diverse community of psychoanalysts, psychologists, educators, and physicians.

For those seeking to establish themselves within the field of psychoanalysis, its accreditation process ensures that training institutions implement these standards in the education and formation of psychoanalysts.

ABRAPlp is committed to protecting public and social interests by identifying psychoanalytic training programs that meet recognized standards of merit. In addition, ABRAPlp assesses how well each psychoanalytic or training program applies psychoanalytic education standards in light of its distinct theories and training traditions.

The external accreditation of a study or training program establishes parity with peers in other academic disciplines. ABRAPlp supports common educational standards and guidelines, and fosters dialogue among diverse schools to encourage cooperative scientific investigation.

All decisions are made solely by the acting president of the society and are final, with no possibility of appeal.
