International Psychoanalytic Association

The International Psychoanalytic Association (IPV) is the largest world association of psychoanalysts . It was founded - at the suggestion of Sándor Ferenczi - in March 1910 by Sigmund Freud and other psychoanalysts in Nuremberg and has developed into a globally widespread institution. The English name is International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA).

history

In 1908 Karl Abraham founded the Berlin Psychoanalytical Association (BPV, since 1926 German Psychoanalytical Society , DPG) and the Vienna Psychoanalytic Association (WPV) emerged from the Wednesday societies that met in Sigmund Freud's apartment. In the same year, at the “First Congress for Freudian Psychology”, it was decided to found an international association, which took place in March 1910 in Nuremberg . The first seat of the IPA was Zurich and the founding president was CG Jung , followed by Sándor Ferenczi, Ernest Jones , Karl Abraham, Max Eitingon and others. The second Austrian branch of the IPV is the Vienna Working Group for Psychoanalysis , which was founded in 1947 and is now headed by August Ruhs . The Swiss Society for Psychoanalysis (SGPsa), founded in 1919, represents the Swiss Confederation in the IPA . After the Second World War , the German branch of the IPV was for a long time the German Psychoanalytical Association (DPV) founded in 1949 , with which names such as Alexander Mitscherlich and Horst-Eberhard Richter are associated. The German Psychoanalytical Society (DPG), which was dissolved in 1938 and re-established in 1945, is now represented in the IPV. In 1998, the Association received the consultation status at the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). At the end of 2009 the IPA had grown to more than 12,000 members.

organization

The IPV sees itself as the “world's most important accreditation and regulatory body” for professional psychoanalysis with the task of “ensuring the continuous vitality and development of psychoanalysis”. The IPA consists of 79 component societies, which autonomously select, train and supervise candidates for clinical psychoanalysis . There are also 6 provisional societies and 17 working groups that are on the way to being recognized as a subsidiary. In addition, eight friendly centers (Allied Center), six regional groups and the American Psychoanalytic Association are the only regional association associated with the IPA (as of October 10, 2019).
