Background history
The International
Federation of Psychoanalytic Societies (IFPS) was founded in
The Founding Societies (Deutsche Psychoanalytische
Gesellschaft e.V.gegr.1910, Sociedad Psicoanalitica Mexicana A.C, Wiener
Arbeitskreis fr Tiefenpsychologie and the William Alanson White Psychoanalytic
Society) were guided by the objective of increasing scientific and personal
contacts as well as the exchange of views among the members of the
Psychoanalytic Societies, by promoting a free discussion of psychoanalytic
theory and practice in joint publications, as well as sharing experiences
concerning questions of professional training.
The IFPS is committed to the concept of pluralism in
psychoanalysis as well as to the interdisciplinary exchange in matters of
micro- and macro-social interest. Complete organizational and scientific autonomy
as well as equal standing of all Member Societies are essential preconditions
to the federation.
