Notes from the President
James L. Fosshage
June 22, 2007
Dear Members of IAPSP,
IAPSP continues to grow in numbers and in offerings. Please refer
to our website for a review of our activities.
Watch for course
offerings in the Fall that will be presented for the first time.
IAPSP's next annual conference will be held in Los Angeles, October
10-14, 2007. We will be having our first annual conference outside
North America in Berlin in October or November, 2008.
I have recently announced the possibility of applying for small
research grants.
Our total budget for the first year is $15,000 and we
hope that it will grow. Tax deductible contributions to the IAPSP Fund
are, of course, welcomed.
Please renew today if you have not done so—such matters can easily
slip away from our attention—email
Nilou (nilou@pcmisandiego.com) if you
are uncertain.
In our commitment to the development and dissemination of the theory
and clinical practice of self psychology, we all can feel proud of what
we have accomplished thus far. Self psychology is clearly flourishing
and contributing to the development of psychoanalysis and to the larger
field of psychotherapy. On behalf of the executive officers and the
International Council, we thank you all for your participation and
contribution.
While we have close to 600 members, it is very important to continue
to increase our membership to enhance its inclusiveness and to broaden
its impact. Just think—if every member reached out to a friend,
colleague, supervisee or student, we could easily approach doubling the
size of the organization. I hope that each of us will take do this!
I look forward to seeing you at this year's Self Psychology
Conference in Los Angeles.
I welcome your suggestions for IAPSP (fosshage@psychoanalysis.net).
My fellow officers, Gianni Nebbiosi, Ph.D., Treasurer, Estelle Shane,
Ph.D., Secretary and President-elect, and Paul Ornstein, M.D., Past
President, join me in sending you our warmest wishes,
James Fosshage, Ph.D.
President
