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 sychoanalysis.

The Center operates a treatment and referral service where low cost Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is provided to the community in a non-sectarian basis.
