<\/a>Report from IARPP-Portugal<\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By Frederico Pereira <\/strong>and Miguel Moita<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear IARPP members,<\/p>\n

We are delighted to report some of the activities that have been organized by IARP-Portugal, as well as to provide further information regarding the events taking place, in the hopes that you will join us.<\/p>\n

\"portugalphotoa1116w\"<\/p>\n

International Conference 2015 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Last November, we co-organized the international conference, \u201cBody, Gesture, and Dream: Relational Psychosomatics,\u201d along with The Portuguese Association for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (APPSI) and the International Centre for Psychosomatics (CIPS). For three days, November 19-21, we had the opportunity to have as keynote speakers Sami-Ali, Silvie Cady, Leila Al Husseini, Jean Marie Gauthier, and Frederico Pereira. The conference was held in Lisbon at the School for Higher Education, and was attended by 150 participants who had the chance to get involved in fertile theoretical and clinical discussions.<\/p>\n

Theoretical and Clinical Workshop with Neville Symington <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"portugalphotob1116w\"On April 5, 2016, IARPP-Portugal and APPSI co-organized a full day\u2019s workshop featuring Neville Symington, taking place in Oporto. The workshop was attended by 20 participants. In the morning session, Neville Symington presented a paper entitled \u201cThe Creation of Sanity\u201d which was commented on by Frederico Pereira and then discussed by the group.<\/p>\n

\"portugalphotoc1116w\"In the afternoon session, two clinical presentations took place, one by Patr\u00edcia Atalaya and the other by Madalena Gomes. The clinical cases presented were then commented on by Neville Symington and by the group. This event was organized by IARPP-Portugal and APPSI members Frederico Pereira, Ema Evangelista, and Miguel Moita.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Clinical Dialogues 2016 Series:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Clinical Dialogues 2016 is a series of seven clinical case presentations and discussions. This series brings the relational perspective to the foreground, particularly in terms of aspects related to psychoanalytic case formulation. This year the clinical presentations have been made by Bernardo Couto (May 19), Pedro Martins (June 16), Gon\u00e7alo Neves (July 7), Paula Mora (September 29), Celeste Br\u00e1s (October 20), Elisabete Miranda (November 10), and Rui Augusto (December 8). The sessions are moderated by Miguel Moita and are open and free to all IARPP-Portugal and APPSI members. This set of events is organized by IARPP-Portugal and APPSI members Frederico Pereira and Miguel Moita.<\/p>\n

Film and Psychoanalysis 2016: Secrets:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year the theme of the Film and Psychoanalysis series is \u201cSecrets.\u201d The Film and Psychoanalysis committee has been presenting a selection of six movies inspired by the current theme. They are: Festen<\/em> (March 5), Vera Drake<\/em> (April 16), Dancer in the Dark<\/em> (May 14), Volver<\/em> (June 4), Les Petits\u00a0Mouchoirs<\/em> (July 2), and Bacheha-Ye-Asenan<\/em> (September 24). After each screening there follows a discussion with the participants, inspired by a relational psychoanalytic perspective. The Film and Psychoanalysis activities are free and open to the general public and are highly attended. These events are organized by IARPP-Portugal and APPSI members Ana Guedes, Elisabete Miranda, and Helena Dulce Cruz.<\/p>\n

Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since 2012, IARPP-Portugal has been collaborating with a post-graduate school of psychoanalytic psychotherapy, The Portuguese Association for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (APPSI). The aims of this collaboration are to create the first relational training program in Portugal and to contribute toward raising the training standards of psychoanalytic psychotherapy in Portugal. These aims have now been fulfilled and we are currently preparing to begin the seventh course of training in January of 2017.<\/p>\n

The incoming candidates will join 33 colleagues who are currently studying in this four-year, 500+ hours, post-graduate training program. For the first time senior international members and partners will be participating regularly in our seminars, either by coming to Portugal for a teaching residency, or by videoconference. The scientific director of the training course is Frederico Pereira.<\/p>\n

\"portugalphotod1116w\"<\/p>\n

2016 Conference: Oblique Sexuality(ies), A Tribute to Muriel Dimen:<\/strong><\/p>\n

On November 24-26, 2016 we presented our seventh annual conference. This year\u2019s conference theme was entitled \u201cOblique Sexuality(ies),\u201d and was designed as a tribute to Muriel Dimen and her inspiring work in the fields of gender and sexuality. The keynote speakers of the conference were Jack Drescher, William Spurlin, Rosario Casta\u00f1o, and Frederico Pereira. For the complete program visit:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/iarpp.pt\/appsi\/portfolio\/detail\/vii-coloquio-anual-appsi-iarpp-portugal<\/a><\/p>\n

This event was organized by IARPP-Portugal and APPSI members Frederico Pereira, Celeste Br\u00e1s, Daniel Matias, Helena Dulce Cruz, Madalena Paiva Gomes, Miguel Moita, M\u00f3nica Lopes da Silva, and Pedro Martins.<\/p>\n

Board Elections:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last June IARPP-Portugal held elections for its Board. The Board of Directors is now constituted as follows: Frederico Pereira as President, Miguel Moita as Vice President, Patr\u00edcia Atalaya as Secretary, and Ana Guedes as Treasurer. For the General Assembly Madalena Gomes was elected as President, with Gon\u00e7alo Neves and Daniel Matias as Secretaries. Finally, for the Fiscal Council Fernando Silva was elected as President, with Ema Evangelista and Filipa Can\u00ealo Neves elected as Secretaries.<\/p>\n

This new team gives us a renewed confidence in the steady and gradual development of a relational sensibility in the Portuguese psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic field and in the relevant role IARPP-Portugal will have in it.<\/p>\n

IARPP-Mexico Chapter Activities<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By Alejandra Plaza<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mexico chapter of IARPP has been involved in a number of interesting activities this year. We are continuing with our study group, in which we review papers on relational psychoanalysis. \"mexicophoto1216bw\"We plan to continue with this activity next year. Norma Vidaurri, a\u00a0participant, describes the study group as \u201ca clearly relational group that is built and rebuilt every day. Each encounter among group members enables situations in which knowledge is deconstructed, generating reflection and inadvertently transforming the group into a creative space that resonates with each person after the encounter at the intra-, inter-, and transubjective levels.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"mexicophoto1216cw\"This year we also offered a course on relational psychoanalysis in the Temazcalli clinic in the city of San Luis Potos\u00ed, aimed at psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers. This clinic treats patients with eating disorders and addiction problems. We are planning to continue our work with case supervision along relational psychoanalytic lines during the clinical sessions taking place at the institution. As part of our chapter\u2019s activities we also recently took a course on complexity theory taught by Dr. Estela Troya and organized by Amalia Rivera.<\/p>\n

Alejandra Plaza, as a member of the IARPP-Mexico chapter, recently published the book Emotion and Human Relations: Relational Psychoanalysis as Social Therapy<\/em>. Two presentations on her book were given, one at the Instituto de Psicoterapia Relacional (IPR) conference in Salamanca and another one in Barcelona at the Spanish Society of Psychoanalysis.\"mexicophoto1216dw\"<\/p>\n

Also, the members of the Mexican chapter continue to teach and give lectures through which they disseminate the ideas central to relational psychoanalysis.<\/p>\n

Norma Vidaurri, una de las participantes, describe al el grupo de estudio: \u201ces claramente un grupo relacional que se construye y reconstruye cada dia; en cada encuentro entre quienes lo habitan posibilita situaciones de deconstrucci\u00f3n de saberes generando reflexi\u00f3n para convertirse sin darse cuenta en espacio creativo que resuena en cada quien despu\u00e9s del encuentro en los niveles intra, inter y transubjetivo\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"mexicophoto1216aw\"Impartimos un curso de Psicoan\u00e1lisis Relacional en la Clinica Temazcalli, en la Ciudad de San Luis Potos\u00ed, dirigida a psicoanalistas, psiquiatras, psic\u00f3logos, y trabajadores sociales.

<\/a>Report from IARPP-Australia<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By Roberto D\u2019Angelo,<\/strong> Chair<\/p>\n

2016 has been another exciting and successful year for the Australian chapter. We have continued the second year of our live video-conferenced seminars with a diverse range of wonderful speakers including Virginia Goldner, Andrea Celenza, Avgi Saketopoulou, Margaret Crastnopol, Bill Coburn, and Mark Blechner. Phil Ringstrom also visited Australia and presented incredibly rich seminars on relational psychoanalysis in both Sydney and Melbourne. Our chapter continues to grow its membership, and I believe this is because we are providing something new which does not exist in the Australian psychoanalytic landscape anywhere else. Our members continually approach us to ask if we can help set up a relational psychoanalytic training in Australia. As a chapter of IARPP, it is not within the scope of what we do to set up a formal training, although a number of our members are currently beginning the process to determine if it is feasible to set up some sort of relational psychoanalytic training in Sydney outside the auspices of IARPP.<\/p>\n

Next year, 2017, is our big year, as we are hosting the IARPP conference in May! We have been working collaboratively with the New Zealand chapter and together have created a powerful and diverse group of plenary programs. Despite our concerns that Australia might seem too far away, we received \u00a0an enormous number of abstract submissions and have been able to accept and accommodate the vast majority of them. We have submissions from all around the world, and, in line with our conference theme, this includes submissions from many cultures covering topics that are generally considered to be at the margins of psychoanalysis. We hope you will join is for the conference next year, and, if you have any concerns or questions about making the journey to Australia, please contact our chapter and we would be more than happy to show you why it will be totally worth your while!<\/p>\n

In addition, we will continue to run our seminar program during the remainder of 2017. We have an impressive line-up scheduled, including Andrew Samuels, Howard Bacal, Steven Knoblauch, Steven Cooper, and Irwin Hirsch. At our annual meeting a few weeks ago, our membership suggested that seminar participants could get together before the seminar to discuss the readings and to formulate questions. We will introduce this format into our program next year to help build a greater sense of connection and community within our own membership. In the same vein, we are also planning a symposium for local clinicians, probably in 2018, especially for those who might feel anxious about presenting at a larger international meeting, as a way of encouraging and supporting local writers.<\/p>\n

We look forward to seeing many of you in Sydney in 2017!<\/p>\n
