Submission Guidelines for Free Associations from WCSPP as of October 2022
- All current members of the Westchester Center for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis are eligible to submit blog posts.

- Submissions must be 1,000 words or less, and include a proposed title and brief professional bio.
- References must be in APA style.
- To protect patient confidentiality, clinical material must be sufficiently disguised or written permission from patient must be given.

- Blog editors reserve the right to change post titles and edit content at their discretion, without final approval by writers unless specifically requested.
- All blog posts must be approved by WCSPP Executive Directors before posting.
