Sociedade Brasileira De Psicanalise

What Sociedade Brasileira De Psicanalise does

Sociedade Brasileira de Psicanálise de São Paulo (SBPSP) is a nonprofit professional psychoanalytic society headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil, founded in 1977 and affiliated with the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA), FEBRAPSI, and FEPAL. It operates the Instituto de Psicanálise Durval Marcondes, one of a small number of IPA-accredited training institutes in Brazil, delivering a multi-year psychoanalytic training curriculum that includes theoretical seminars, personal analysis, and supervised clinical practice. The society also runs the Centro de Atendimento Psicanalítico (CAP), which provides reduced-price psychoanalytic treatment to the public, and the Diretoria de Atendimento à Comunidade (DAC), which designs community interventions in partnership with public institutions in justice, education, and social services.

Its revenue model is a mix of training program fees (seminar subscriptions were R$505/month as of 2020), CAP clinical service fees, member dues through the Associação dos Membros Filiados (AMF, founded 1970), event and continuing-education fees (e.g., R$200 per session for Dialogues Psychoanalyticos), and revenue from scholarly publications. The society maintains the Biblioteca Virgínia Leone Bicudo, a research library of more than 103,137 indexed records managed on the Sophia library platform, and publishes the Jornal de Psicanálise and Revista IDE. It serves three principal constituencies: psychology and medical professionals seeking IPA-recognized credentials, individual patients seeking subsidized psychoanalytic treatment, and institutional partners in the public sector. With 57 employees, SBPSP functions as a training-and-services institution rather than a technology platform, with no disclosed AI or digital product capabilities.
