About
History
Since its inception in 1973, the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis has worked to open the doors to the study of psychoanalysis to motivated students from all walks of life.
Education
Naturally, didactic coursework plays an important role in graduate study, with BGSP’s faculty lending their expertise in clinical, practical, and scholarly applications of psychoanalytic thought. In addition, in most programs at BGSP, students begin working in the field under supervision early in their education. Through internships, clinical supervision, independent research, and seminar discussions, students engage in an open exploration of all facets of the human psyche.

Housing services
The BGSP does not provide housing.
Library services
The BGSP library is home to over 6,500 books and journals, and acts as an excellent research and resource center with access to an extensive collection of journals and articles through our online databases.
Medical services
A hospital emergency room (ER) is your best option for medical care in the event of a major emergency such as a head injury, loss of consciousness, severe shortness of breath, etc.
For non-emergency medical care, you would be better served to call your doctor’s office for an appointment, if during office hours. On the evenings and weekends, your doctor’s office might not be open for appointments.
