IPSO was established to provide IPA candidates with an opportunity to come together to discuss issues of training, theory, and practice, as well as to offer a social context for candidates’ cross-cultural engagement.
IPSO is committed to the belief that exposure to the pluralism and diversity of psychoanalytic traditions is an important part of a candidate’s well-rounded education.
By offering opportunities to recognize and explore both our similarities and differences, IPSO helps candidates to bridge and appreciate the complexity and richness of the many psychoanalytic cultures.
It provides the international width to complement the local depth.
