The Candidates Association during the past year has continued to play an active part in the integrating and growing of our total organization. By utilizing our meeting time effectively we were able to hold stimulating discussions on technical difficulties which arise during the analytic relationship and the various methods used by members in handling these problems.
The Association donated personnel and financial support to various programs in conjunction with AAP, including the Second Karen Horney Memorial Dinner and Lecture, and the policy of supplying copies of The American Journal of Psychoanalysis to libraries of selected medical schools and psychiatric hospitals. Several men taught or were co-instructors at the New School and at the Institute. A plan was adopted to provide death benefits for the survivors of deceased members. Two-thirds of our group became contributing members of ACAAP. Speakers were provided for various organizations both in New Jersey and New York. The Bulletin grew in size and scope to include not only personnel news and announcements but also academic articles and reviews of books and plays.
This year has been a full year and those of us who took an active part in it can look back with satisfaction at what we gave and what we got from being part of the Candidates Association. Our role as the association for candidates has grown, developing old and exploring new directions of participation and contribution. It will continue to grow as each doctor assumes personal responsibility for his obligations as a member.
