| footer = Plaque commemorating the founding of the International Psychoanalytic Association (IPA) in 1910, Le Méridien Grand Hotel Nürnberg«The International Psychoanalytic Association (IPA) was founded in this house on March 30, 1910 by Sigmund Freud, Carl Gustav Jung, Alfred Adler and other psychoanalysts. From this base of "like-minded people" arose several psychoanalytic directions that found their own organizational form: the International Association for Individual Psychology (IVIP/IAIP) (Alfred Adler, founded in 1954), the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IGAP/IAAP) (Carl Gustav Jung, founded in 1955) and the International Federation of Psychoanalytic Societies (IFPS) (Erich Fromm, founded in 1962). The German Psychoanalytical Association (DPV) and the German Psychoanalytical Society (DPG) are today the two IPA representatives in Germany.

In 1902 Sigmund Freud started to meet every week with colleagues to discuss his work, thus establishing the Psychological Wednesday Society. By 1908 there were 14 regular members and some guests including Max Eitingon, Carl Jung, Karl Abraham, and Ernest Jones, all future Presidents of the IPA.{{Cite web |url=http://www.psychoanalyse.ru/gallery/images/freudfriends/f-commit_1922_berlin_l.jpg |title=Group portrait: Freud and associates in a photograph taken ca. 1922, Berlin.

In 1907 Jones suggested to Jung that an international meeting should be arranged. Freud welcomed the proposal. The meeting took place in Salzburg on April 27, 1908. Jung named it the "First Congress for Freudian Psychology". It is later reckoned to be the first International Psychoanalytical Congress. Even so, the IPA had not yet been founded.

The IPA was established at the next Congress held at Nuremberg in March 1910.[http://www.ipa.org.uk/default.aspx?page=39 How did the IPA begin?] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090421164844/http://www.ipa.org.uk/default.aspx?page=39 |date=2009-04-21 }} Its first President was Carl Jung, and its first Secretary was Otto Rank. Sigmund Freud considered an international organization to be essential to advance his ideas. In 1914 Freud published a paper entitled The History of the Psychoanalytic Movement.

The IPA is the international accrediting and regulatory body for member organisations. The IPA's aims include creating new psychoanalytic groups, conducting research, developing training policies and establishing links with other bodies. It organizes a biennial Congress.

There is a Regional Organisation for each of the IPA's three regions:

• Europe—European Psychoanalytical Federation (or EPF), which also includes Australia, India, Israel, Lebanon, South Africa and Turkey;
• The IPA is incorporated in England, where it is a company limited by guarantee and also a registered charity. Its administrative offices are at The Lexicon in Central London.
• Latin America—Federation of Psychoanalytic Societies of Latin America (or FEPAL);
• North America—North American Psychoanalytic Confederation (or NAPSAC), which also includes Japan and Korea.

Each of these three bodies consists of Constituent Organisations and Study Groups that are part of that IPA region. The IPA has a close working relationship with each of these independent organisations, but they are not officially or legally part of the IPA.

The IPA's members qualify for membership by being a member of a "constituent organisation" (or the sole regional association).

The first 23 Congresses of IPA did not have a specific theme.

In 1975, Erich Fromm questioned this organization and found that the psychoanalytic association was "organized according to standards rather dictatorial"."La mission de Sigmund Freud : une analyse de sa personnalité et de son influence'", Erich Fromm, translation from English by Paul Alexandre. Bruxelles : Complexe, 1975 and in Grandeurs et limites de la pensée freudienne, éditions Laffont, 1980

In 1999, Élisabeth Roudinesco noted that the IPA's attempts to professionalize psychoanalysis had become "a machine to manufacture significance". She also said that in France, "Lacanian colleagues looked upon the IPA as bureaucrats who had betrayed psychoanalysis in favour of an adaptive psychology in the service of triumphant capitalism".Élisabeth Roudinesco, Pourquoi la psychanalyse ? chapter four, « critiques des institutions psychanalytiques ». Fayard, Paris, 1999 She wrote of the "IPA['s] Legitimist Freudianism, as mistakenly called "orthodox"".Élisabeth Roudinesco, Généalogies, 2014, p. 60

On the other hand, most criticisms laid against the IPA tend to come from a 1950s Lacanian point of view,J. Lacan, The situation of psychoanalysis and the training of psychoanalysts in 1956, Ecrits, the first complete edition in English, translated by Bruce Fink, in collaboration with Heloise Fink and Russel Crigg. W. W. Norton & Company, New York, London; Copyright © 1966, 1970, 1971, 1999 by éditions du Seuil - English translation copyright © 2006, 2002 by W. W. Norton & Company. unaware of recent developments, and of the variety of schools and training models within the association in recent decades.Peter Loewenberg & Nellie L. Thompson, 100 years of the IPA, The Centenary History of the International Psychoanalytical Association, 1910–2010; Evolution and change. First published in 2011 by The International Psychoanalytical Association, Broomhills, Woodside Lane, London N12 8UD, United Kingdom. London, Karnac books. {{ISBN|9781905888160}} One of the three training models in the IPA (the French Model), is mostly due to Lacan's ideas and their perspectives regarding the training.Gilbert Diatkine, Les lacanismes, les analystes français et l'Association psychanalytique internationale, Revue française de psychanalyse, hors-série, "Courants de la psychanalyse contemporaine", 2001, 389-400.

Among Roudinesco's other criticisms was her reference to "homophobia" in the IPA, considered a "disgrace of psychoanalysis.Élisabeth Roudinesco, « La famille en désordre », in Eric Fassin, « [http://www.cairn.info/revue-francaise-de-psychanalyse-2003-1-page-263.htm L'inversion de la question homosexuelle] » Revue française de psychanalyse, 2003/1 (Vol. 67).

According to psychiatrist Albert Le Dorze, the association is homophobic.La politisation de l'ordre sexuel by Albert Le Dorze, éditions L'Harmattan, Paris, january 2009 - 238 pages
