We do not know much about mental health care centers that treat through psychoanalytic psychotherapy in Spain. We present the results of an epidemiological study that collects the information provided by 97 psychoanalytic-oriented psychotherapists belonging to the Spanish Federation of Psychotherapist Associations (FEAP). Therapists’ profiles are described, as well as the patients attended (n=1862) and their treatments. The results are discussed in the light of other studies and represent 7% of the psychoanalytic activity of FEAP

Keywords : psychoanalysis; psychotherapy; psychoanalytic therapy; health care center; mental disorder; psychology; epidemiological study.
