2025-2026 RIAPP Membership

from $0.00

Membership in the Rhode Island Association for Psychoanalytic Psychologies is open to all individuals who are interested in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychology and who support RIAPP’s mission. Membership is not dependent on competence in psychoanalytic psychology or psychotherapies.

Membership in RIAPP comes with many benefits, including:

> Free admission to our Wednesday Evening Lecture Series
> Discounted conference fees
> Listing on our Find a Psychotherapist and Members pages
> Opportunities to connect with the community via members-only events and reading groups

In 2022, RIAPP adopted a Pay What You Can model to ensure that cost would never be a barrier to psychodynamic and psychoanalytic learning. This approach brought new voices and perspectives into our community, and we are grateful for how it has enriched our collective growth. To continue offering the depth and quality that our community values, we are returning to set membership and event rates, while keeping a $0 option available for anyone who chooses it. In doing so, we reaffirm our commitment to inclusivity and accessibility while keeping RIAPP sustainable and positioned to thrive.
