Following receipt of the letter from Dr Jules Masserman on the Neo-Analytic Movement—published in the 122nd Bulletin of the International Psycho-Analytical Association—the Editor received a letter on the same question from Drs Franz Alexander, Roy R. Grinker, Sr, and Sandor Rado. This letter has, however, already been published as an editorial in the Archives of General Psychiatry1 and it has therefore been decided that it is not necessary to re-publish it in the Bulletin of the International Psycho-Analytical Association.
The Presidential Address, 23rd International Psycho-Analytical Congress, "On the Present Scientific and Social Position of Psycho-Analysis, " is included in this number of the Bulletin, as is the list of Officers of the Association elected for 1963/65. The remainder of the Report on the 23rd International Psycho-Analytical Congress will be published in the 124th Bulletin, January 1964.
Also included in this present number of the Bulletin is the Report of Scientific Activities of Component Societies, August 1961 to July 1963. In recent years the Bulletin has published detailed reports in this connexion. The material received this year, however, indicated that with the expansion of scientific activities due first to the development of international meetings, and second to the increased numbers of component groups, the listing of papers and meetings had become both bulky and uninformative. It has therefore been agreed that reports of this nature should be discontinued. Instead, a condensed report, noting new or significant developments, has been compiled, and it is this report that we publish now.
We take this opportunity to advise the membership that the 24th International Psycho-Analytical Congress will be held at Amsterdam, Holland, July, 1965.
