The Lucy Daniels Center for Early Childhood is housed in a separate wing of the Lucy Daniels Foundation building. The Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center has been a division of the North Carolina Psychoanalytic Society since 1993. It is directed by a Steering Committee made up of psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists. Its purpose is to enhance the quality of psychotherapy available to the public through the training of psychoanalytic psychotherapists in various clinical disciplines. The Study Center promotes public awareness of the distinctive features of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
Faculty members are psychoanalysts and experienced psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapists.
Students take weekly evening classes at the Lucy Daniels Foundation, participate in 150 hours of supervision, and undergo personal psychoanalysis or psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy. The national organization is affiliated with the Clinical Social Work Federation. The NC chapter offers three or four events per year, including seminars, conferences and workshops on psychoanalytically oriented topics. Although there are about twelve members of the American psychological Association's Division 39 in the Triangle area, at present there is no local chapter. Division 39 promotes cooperation among analytically oriented people and organizations.
