The American Psychoanalytic Association opposes and deplores public or private discrimination against male and female homosexually oriented individuals.
It is the position of the American Psychoanalytic Association that our component institutes select candidates for training on the basis of their interest in psychoanalysis, talent, proper educational background, psychological integrity, analyzability and educability, and not on the basis of sexual orientation. It is expected that our component institutes will employ these standards for the selection of candidates for training and for the appointment of all grades of faculty including training and supervising analysts as well.
