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
