The CPT&C (Community Psychoanalysis Track and Consortium) began in 2016 by establishing a group of psychoanalytic clinicians from both community mental health and institutionalized psychoanalysis to explore the possibility of developing a training track (CPT) and an affiliated network of community mental health and analyst members (Community Psychoanalysis Consortium).
