The Harris School (THS), originally called The Child Development Center (CDC), was begun in 1987 by The Houston-Galveston Psychoanalytic Institute (HGPI) with a generous grant from a donor. The child psychoanalyst faculty of the HGPI worked diligently in outreach programs to form the basis of the school, and with the generosity of several Houston foundations and other donors they were able to bring The Harris School to physical reality with a groundbreaking in 1993. Although The Harris School is no longer affiliated with HGPI, the mission of The Harris School continues to be the improvement of the educational development and the emotional health of children. This is achieved by using psychodynamic and psychoanalytic principles in our therapeutic school, in professional consultations with educators and parents through our outreach and teacher training (The Outreach/ Teacher Consultant Program), in evaluation of children (The THS Clinic), and in training and research in child development (The Professional Training Programs). The children, with the help of their families, mental health professionals, and teachers, can grow to be competent, responsible, and successful.
