The underlying theme of the program of the Candidates' Association this past year has been increased integration and mutual understanding among the various groups comprising the American Institute for Psychoanalysis. Basic to this cause was the important committee formed to ascertain candidates' attitudes and feelings toward the Institute and its functions. Consequently, a meeting between the Association and the Institute was convened at which time both participants shared the satisfaction and realization of each other's aims and goals, indeed an unique and democratic experience.

Notable among the achievements of our tenure was the Association's wholehearted support of the newly formed Karen Horney Clinic toward which was pledged our financial aid and candidates participation in the clinic program.
