In addition, we are pleased to announce a new collaborative project with Gustavo Jarast, Scientific Chair of the Argentine Psychoanalytic Association, who has arranged for the translation of recent JAPA articles in a Spanish-language annual to appear in 2017. We are grateful to those who translate JAPA articles, thereby making them more accessible to our global audience.

Lastly, we are pleased to announce that our continuing education i
