Dear Members,
We are delighted to send you the July 2012 issue of the IARPP eNews in which we celebrate, announce and reflect on major events and developments in the IARPP community.
In this issue we take you on a road from the New York March 2012 conference to Santiago, Chile where our next conference is planned for November 2013. You will find an invitation from the Santiago chairs, María Eugenia Boetsch-Salas and Juan Francisco Jordan-Moore, to attend the conference entitled: “A Meeting of Traditions: Field, Link and Matrix in Psychoanalytic Theory and Practice.” November is springtime in Chile and one of the best times to visit and enjoy a world-class city and stimulating dialogue with international colleagues.
IARPP president, Spyros Orfanos will open our reflection on the March New York conference with his unique and personal column. Frederico Pereira from Portugal writes about his experience at the conference while Ruth Lijtmaer presents a summary of the paper she presented there on being an immigrant analyst. You will also find photos from the conference and Saturday night party.
Focusing on IARPP major events, we are honored to present an interview with Susanna Federici, the incoming IARPP elected president, whose term will start in January 2013.
Speaking of meaningful events in IARPP's life, Galit Atlas-Koch and Steven Kuchuck, IARPP Colloquium Committee co-chairs and moderators, report on our 20th colloquium held in May that was based on Sam Gerson's seminal paper, “When the Third is Dead: Memory, Mourning and Witnessing in the Aftermath of the Holocaust.”
Examining the contexts in which IARPP members live and practice and their connections to the relational theoretical frame, we are honored to publish, “Shame," an essay from Hélène Beinoglou-Négri from Greece. Here she speaks eloquently of her experience of being an analyst during the current crisis in Greece.
Looking for ways to challenge our readers, we are pleased to introduce our new advice column for writers, “Write On!” Suzi Naiburg will be our creative coach leading us through exercises that will ignite and inspire the clinical writing process.
Announcements from the candidates’ committee, information on relational scholarship in Rome and in Israel as well as film reviews await you.
These articles and reflections, some in two languages, represent the wide and fruitful communication that we, as editors, are privileged to have with IARPP's community.
We hope you enjoy this issue and, depending on your hemisphere, have a wonderful summer or winter!
