Created on a Foundation of Philanthropy and Compassion
For nearly 50 years, Mel Bornstein, M.D. has been a highly-esteemed member and leader in the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute and Society. He is a Training and Supervising Analyst, meaning he is central in the education and training of future psychoanalysts. He has chaired and energetically led multiple committees locally and nationally, has authored many professional articles, co-edited books and is a sought-after leader and speaker, teacher and advisor.
The Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute had offered reduced-fee psychotherapy through its Treatment Clinic to members of the community for many years. As it became evident that it was no longer financially viable to continue underwriting this worthwhile program, MPI had reluctantly planned to close the service. Upon hearing this, Dr. Bornstein and his wife Audrey, stepped forward with a $50,000 gift as seed money to establish a free-standing, not-for-profit [501©3} clinic. Many other members and friends followed suit. In addition, the American Psychoanalytic Foundation also provided a grant toward establishing this clinic.
This gift honors the Bornstein’s enthusiasm for public service, their love of psychoanalysis and their deep conviction in the healing power of talk therapy. It is a measure of the deep generosity of mind and spirit that has marked Dr. Bornstein’s work as a psychoanalyst.
