cmps library

The CMPS library contains over 3,000 English-language books in psychoanalysis, psychology, and related fields, with the core being a rich collection of works, both new and classic, in the field of modern psychoanalysis. The book collection is searchable through our online catalog, accessible through the link on this page. Through print and online sources, students also have access to over 40 full-text psychoanalytic journals, as well as subject-specific reference works.

The library’s large reading rooms provide quiet study space, four computers with printing capabilities, a wireless network, and two copiers for student use. Research assistance is given by the librarian, who also manages access to class readings. As a member of the Metropolitan New York Library Council (METRO), the library has referral privileges to local libraries and offers interlibrary loan service for material not in our collection.

The CMPS library is open to students and faculty from 10 AM to 9 PM on weekdays, and by appointment to members of the public with a METRO referral card. The librarian, Laura Covino, can be reached at librarian@cmps.edu, or at 212-260-7050, x15.
