The American Association for Psychoanalytic Education (AAPE) is an independent, non-profit, tax-exempt 501 (c) (3) organization of psychoanalytic institutes and training programs whose goal is to promote excellence in psychoanalytic education through establishing and promoting standards for psychoanalytic training. AAPE members are institutes and training programs that meet AAPE standards.

AAPE membership is open to institutes and training programs that meet AAPE educational standards. AAPE membership requires approval by AAPE through a process of self-assessment, site visits, and consultation on standards and accreditation requirements. Institutes and programs affiliated with the American Psychoanalytic Association (APsaA) and in good standing may apply for expedited membership in AAPE. Institutes and programs interested in meeting AAPE standards are invited to contact AAPE for assistance.

The Denver Institute for Psychoanalysis will be joining AAPE.
