Recognizing the caliber of training offered at CMPS, many universities have granted academic credit in their graduate programs for studies completed at the Center. The Center has been active in establishing and clarifying the standards of modern psychoanalytic education.The CMPS Consultation and Referral Service offers affordable short- and long-term psychoanalysis in an inclusive clinical setting where people of all life circumstances are welcome.The Center's founders, faculty, and graduates have assisted in the development of a number of modern psychoanalytic training institutes in keeping with the Center's policy to help develop advanced programs.Early in its history the center developed a program to encourage psychoanalytic writing. This program has provided editorial assistance for faculty, graduates, and candidates in training in the preparation of their psychoanalytic papers for publication. The program led to the founding of the center's journal, Modern Psychoanalysis. The first issue appeared in 1976. Since that time, the journal has been published semi-annually, and its list of subscribers continues to grow nationally and internationally. The program has also led to the publication by faculty, students, and graduates of a steady stream of books and articles that represent valuable contributions to the literature of psychoanalysis.
