Who We Are and What We Do
The Boulder Psychotherapy Institute (BPI) has been training therapists and graduate students in Applied Existential Psychotherapy (AEP) since 1989. AEP interlaces the insights of contemporary existential and psychodynamic approaches with techniques inspired by Gestalt and other experiential therapies. Our faculty and staff also provide individual, couples and group therapy - and supervision.
We have become a hub for therapist community building in the Boulder-Denver area.
We offer services to local therapists and the public. Our online Find a Local Therapist Directory matches therapists with clients. We publicize workshops, lectures and events on our Therapist Community Calendar.
Our BPI Networking List allows over 850 local therapists to share information and the public to pose questions about therapy and therapists. Our Bi-Annual Networking Party draws hundreds of area therapists in August.

Review of Betty Cannon's
Sartre and Psychoanalysis
"Every once in a rare while a text comes along whose intellectual impact
is such that it makes one want to shout: 'Please, whatever you do, READ THIS
BOOK!' Betty Cannon's Sartre and Psychoanalysis is such a book... Her
arguments and conclusions, as well as being stunningly original, shed light
not only upon psychoanalytic practice, but (if implicitly) upon psychotherapeutic
practice in general... I cannot praise this book too highly. For anyone interested
in existential analysis, and most especially anyone practising such, Cannon's text
is required reading. Thankfully, it is also pleasurable and eloquent reading,
admirable for its clarity, authority and lack of academic pretension. In other words:
a text destined to become a classic in the field."
—Ernesto Spinelli, author of
Practising Existential Therapy: The Relational World and other
influential books on existential psychology, in Existential Analysis,
July–Sept. 1992, no. 3.
The BPI Networking List Story
Many of you have asked about how the BPI Networking List got started. Here's the story as we remember it.
The Networking List started out as a small paper list with contact information for about 40 people associated with the Institute back in 1992. The idea came out of one of Betty Cannon's consultation groups. We were brainstorming how to create more community and to promote cross referrals. We decided to create a list of BPI affiliates to further that project. The List grew over the years and is now an automated daily email digest where over 850 local therapists of all persuasions and orientations (and some coaches) post psychotherapy related messages. Messages are still monitored and approved by us to make sure that spam doesn't get through and that messages are psychotherapy related.
