The New England Foundation for Psychoanalysis was founded in 1995 as a 501(c)3 organization in the state of Massachusetts.
Our Mission
- Foster the use of psychoanalytic knowledge in ways that benefit the general community
- Manage the Ecker Fund to distribute grants for interdisciplinary psychoanalytic projects, programs, and research to non-profit organizations
- Encourage the integration of psychoanalytic knowledge and psychoanalysis with fields of education and therapy that deal with human behavior
- Further relationships between psychoanalysts and educational institutions
- Support research and training in psychoanalytic theories and treatment
In 2021 we received a bequest from the estate of Elizabeth Bullock. The bequest was used to create the Ecker Fund, which stipulates that the funds be used for interdisciplinary psychoanalytic projects, programs and research
