Extension Committee Deborah Barchat, Ph.D. and Barbara Kravitz, Psy.D., Extension Committee Co-Chairpersons History
The Extension Committee has a long history. The first series of lecture courses open to psychiatrists in New York City was organized in 1922. The establishment of the Extension Committee as an official entity coincided with the inception of The New York Psychoanalytic Institute in 1931. Since then it has offered a rich and varied curriculum of lectures and seminars for psychiatrists, nonpsychiatric physicians, psychologists, social workers, teachers, and academics from a wide variety of disciplines. The faculty during the thirties included Brill, Oberndorf, Daniels, Lorand, Kardiner, and Flanders-Dunbar. In the forties Roheim, Kris, Spitz, Kubie, deSaussure, Loewenstein, and many other distinguished psychoanalysts offered courses. In 1947 the School of Applied Psychoanalysis of The New York Psychoanalytic Institute was established, with offerings covering the application of psychoanalysis to anthropology, politics, religion, group psychology, and literature. In the early 1970's the Institute's School of Applied Psychoanalysis gave way to a Committee of Post-Graduate Studies for Members of the Society and an Extension Committee for the larger community. The Extension Committee has embarked on a program of growth and expansion. Announcements of specific courses, interdisciplinary colloquia, dialogues and study groups offered under the auspices of the Extension Committee are mailed to interested groups and individuals. They may also be obtained on request from the Institute Office.
