About the Service

In recent years the number of patients seeking treatment for eating disorders and substance abuse problems has increased dramatically. The demand for in-depth treatment has also grown as the problems of addiction and compulsion remain prevalent in our society.
There are many treatment options for the early stages of recovery but few for those who want to go beyond behavioral change to the deep shifts in character that psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy offer. Concurrently, there have been changes in traditional psychoanalysis that make it possible to address the underlying character problems and to study the process of analysis with these populations.
Since its inception, The William Alanson White Institute has been involved in helping people with problems in living. Interpersonal perspectives and techniques offer analytic opportunities to patients with a history of addiction who want to attain the deepest level of change.
