Committees of the Board on Professional Standards

Dr. Ives Hendrick, Chairman of the Board on Professional Standards, has sent the following communication:

“Since the Annual Meeting, 1951, there have been the following changes in the Committee Structure of the Board: —

1. Committee on Training Standards in Child Analysis, with Dr. Sara A. Bonnett (New York) as Chairman, was organized during the summer to implement the action of the Board, Dec. 17, 1948, for studying this problem. This Committee has studied the discussions of these problems by the scientific Committee of the Association on Psychoanalysis of Children and Adolescents. Up to the Midwinter Meeting, 1951, it was constituted as a Subcommittee of the Committee on Revision of Standards, and is now constituted a permanent Standing Committee of the Board.

2. Committee on Training Standards (formerly “Committee on Revision of Standards”). Implementing the recommendation of the Committee on Revision of Standards at the Midwinter Meeting, 1951, that, in view of the fact there had been no change in the Membership of this Committee since it was originally established, it should be reorganized, Dr. M. Ralph Kaufman (New York), has been appointed Chairman and the Committee's membership has been enlarged.

3. Co-ordinating Committee, a new Committee of the Board, has been organized. This new Committee has been established to consist of the following members: Chairman and Secretary of the Board on Professional Standards, President and Secretary of the American Psychoanalytic Association, Chairmen and Secretaries of all Standing Committees of the Board.
