The Academy's mission is to advance the study of psychoanalytic epistemology,
theory, practice, ethics, and education within a psychological framework
consisting of philosophy, the arts, and the anthropic sciences as opposed to
biology, medicine, and the natural sciences through some of the following
efforts:

1) the re-thinking of psychoanalysis as a creataive intellectual discipline
dedicated to the understanding of the psyche:

2) the rethinking of psychoanalytic practice as consisting of collaborative
inquiry to further self-understanding rather than the "treatment" of disease,
disorder, or deficiency;

3) the development of educational programs for the study of the many modern
and post-modern versions and visions of psychoanalysis that proceed from
contextual metaphors such as narrative story, semiotics, amsufism, and
psychic theatre.

4) the articulation and advancement of an ethic and principles consistent
with this psychological framework, and

5) the presentation of these ideas to the academic, professional, and lay
communities.

With this in mind the Academy accepts papers and articles for e-publication
that would be consistent with this mission.  If you are interested please
