Outside the regular meetings the group has had the privilege of being able to attend a series of lectures, in May, 1930, on the neuroses by Frau Dr. Deutsch; on dreams by Dr. Alexander; and a clinical seminar by Dr. Radó, as well as several public lectures by these and other guests from abroad, including Miss Chadwick and Pfarrer Pfister.
The Educational Committee has also held a series of informal colloquia and seminars weekly. One series on problems of interpretation was held by Dr. Lewin, with Drs. Stern, Meyer and Brill as leaders; one on metapsychology, including a review of Freud's papers on this topic, by Dr. Zilboorg, with Drs. Brill, Feigenbaum and Lewin as leaders. These were well attended, and the Committee is encouraged to go on with work of this sort.
