The Diversities Committee aims to foster principles, values and sustainable policies within the Center, including the Institute and all programs within the Center, that create a welcoming and nurturing environment for all members of the community, irrespective of race, class, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability. We seek to engage our psychoanalytic thinking to shift our historically exclusionary and biased culture in the direction of one that is diverse, anti-racist and inclusive. We encourage and support all efforts in the Center to expand psychoanalytic thought, theory, and practice to value the richness that diversities bring to a deeper understanding of individual and community experiences.
