This article analyzes and contextualizes findings of an online
survey documenting transformations in psychoanalytic practice.

The findings indicate that a number of contemporary practitio-
ners challenge the premise that psychoanalysis is only available to a higher-income group, also associated with mainstream gen-
der and sexualities, and racial and ethnic ideals of whiteness.

The first step of a multistage exploratory research study gath-
ered a sample of 243 respondents, a majority of whom practice in the United States. Almost all of the respondents (99.17%) reported engagement in clinical work with populations historically considered underserved. This suggests possibilities for the emergence of a new psychoanalysis and initiates the project of mapping the inclusive practice of psychoanalysis today.

Keywords: inclusivity, underserved populations, geo-psycho-
analysis, community psychoanalysis, minorities, clinical practice
