  Biography for Elgan Baker, Ph.D.

President

I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Tennessee in 1976 after completing an internship at the University of Colorado Medical School. I am a Diplomate in Clinical Psychology, in Clinical Hypnosis, and in Forensic Psychology (ABPP, ABPH, DABPS) and a Fellow of the American Psychological Association, the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, and the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis. I received my psychoanalytic training at the Houston Psychoanalytic Institute, and am past President of the Indiana Society for Psychoanalysis. I served as Director of the Indiana Center for Psychoanalysis from 1988-2000. I have also served in the governance of numerous divisions of APA for the past 25 years. I am currently on the faculty in the Department of Psychiatry at Indiana University School of Medicine and in private practice in Indianapolis, Indiana. My published work has focused primarily on the applications of object relations theory to various clinical problems and aspects of the therapeutic process including borderline personality disorder, eating disorders, and narcissistic spectrum disorders. I have also written extensively about hypnoanalysis and the integration of psychoanalytic theory with hypnotic phenomenology.
