Arising out of the need for an organization in Holland, which should adhere in every respect to the written and unwritten aims of the International Psycho-Analytical Association, the following members of that
Association founded, on November 1, 1933, The Society of Psycho-Analysts in Holland: Frau C. M. Versteeg-Solleveld, K. Landauer, A. Watermann, J. van Emden, J. H. W. van Ophuijsen, P. H. Versteeg, M. Katan and A. M. Blok. The following were elected officers of the Society: President, J. H. W. van Ophuijsen; Treasurer, Frau C. M. Versteeg-Solleveld; Secretary, A. M. Blok. Their application for the new Society to be admitted as a Branch Society to the International Psycho-Analytical Association was provisionally allowed by the Central Executive, pending the General Meeting of the Association. Subsequently, Dr. H. G. van der Waals was admitted to membership and Dr. F. Perls and Dr. S. Weyl to associate membership.
The Society began its activities forthwith by holding weekly meetings. A seminar on technique was held fortnightly under the direction of Dr. Blok, while at the alternate meetings Dr. van Ophuijsen lectured on 'The Vicissitudes of the Oedipus Complex'.
Election to Membership: Dr. phil. Th. Reik, The Hague, Jul. van Stolberglaan 32.
Election of Associate Member: Dr. med. M. Levy Suhl, Amersfoort, Heinsiuslaan 17.
The weekly meetings were continued. Papers were read on 'The Vicissitudes of the Oedipus Complex' by van Ophuijsen, Landauer and Reik. Dr. Blok reported further on the patient with whose case he had already dealt.
