We present new theories of dynamical supersymmetry breaking in which the strong interactions that break supersymmetry also give rise to composite quarks and leptons with naturally small Yukawa couplings. In these models, supersymmetry breaking is communicated directly to the composite fields without {open_quotes}messenger{close_quotes} interactions. The compositeness scale can be anywhere between 10thinspTeV and the Planck scale. These models can naturally solve the supersymmetric flavor problem, and generically predict sfermion mass unification independent from gauge unification. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
