The China American Psychoanalytic Alliance (CAPA)...
...develops and promotes mental health services in China by training Chinese mental health professionals as psychodynamic psychotherapists and providing them with psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic treatment.
Who we are
CAPA has more than four hundred members, predominantly American (but also Australian, Canadian, South and Central American, European, and Israeli). Three hundred people subscribe to our Friends List. Members are analysts, (APsaA, Contemporary Freudian Society, IPTAR, IPA, William Alanson White and other analytic organizations) and analytically oriented psychotherapists. There are almost 200 Chinese Associate members.
what we do
CAPA members train, supervise and treat mental health professionals in eighteen Chinese cities using Zoom and Skype. Currently, there are four 1st year classes, four 2nd year classes (each class with 10-12 students), and two classes in each of the 3rd and 4th years. More than 2,000 volunteers and mental health professionals were trained under CAPA auspices following the Sichuan Earthquake. Since 2009, more than twenty analysts and analytic therapists have visited China each year for three weeks of touring, lecturing, supervising, and treating.
