Short History
Founded in 1926 by Princess Marie Bonaparte, Lowenstein and Laforgue, the SPP had to be reorganized after WW2. Divergent opinions about the formation of candidates resulted in a split in 1953. The SPP remains the oldest and largest French IPA Society working closely with the Societies that emerged from the split, the APF in 1964 and the SPRF in 2004.

Training Institute
Training model: French model
Inaugurated in 1934, the first Institute closed during WWII. Re-opened in 1954, under the direction of S. Nacht, its dynamism and divergences led to the development of the French Model of formation. Nowadays, two regional Institutes, one in Lyon and one in Toulouse complete the possibility for candidates to follow their formation.
Free clinic / Councelling
