Let Us Introduce You to The Masterson Institute for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, The Masterson Group, P.C., Founder James F. Masterson, M.D. and Faculty
About The Masterson Institute
The Masterson Institute evolved from the work of the Masterson Group and James F. Masterson, M.D., its founder and Director. Widespread acceptance of this work led to the establishing in 1977 of The Masterson Institute, a non-profit organization for teaching and research with a faculty personally trained by Dr. Masterson. Its focus was to promote the developmental self and object relations approach to the psychotherapy of the Personality Disorders (Disorders of the Self) to teach that approach and to foster future research. The Institute became an organizational umbrella for teaching activities.
The Institute's first conference was held in 1977 followed by a series of one- and two-day conferences and study groups presented throughout the country. Since then the Institute has presented annual conferences in New York and San Francisco. These conferences and study groups created a demand for more intensive training and resulted in the formation of formal, three-year postgraduate certificate programs in New York (1986) and San Francisco (1988). In addition, a special certificate program was formed in Spokane, Washington in 1987, and a modified training program was instituted in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1987. We are currently in the process of establishing a new training program in Praetoria, South Africa through videoconferencing.
