Following the policy outlined by Dr P. J. van der Leeuw when he took office as President of the Association, to promote the exchange of information between Societies, the Reports of the Sixth Conference of the Central European Psycho-Analytical Association held at Brunnen in April 1968, and of the First Meeting of the Scandinavian Psycho-Analytic Societies are published below. It is hoped to include the Report of the Romance Languages Congress in the next Bulletin.
It is regretted that, owing to translation difficulties, the Romance Language Report could not be included as planned. A Summary will appear in a later Bulletin, together with the Report of the Lisbon Congress.
225 psychoanalysts came to this meeting in Brunnen, 75 of them being experienced, the others candidates and some guests. These occupational meetings are not congresses; their aim is didactic, i.e. to provide German-speaking analysts of the younger generation with additional training and to bring all participants into contact with the working methods and views of their colleagues in other countries.
People attended from fourteen countries. Apart from members and candidates of the organizing societies (Austrian, German and Swiss), there was, as previously, a particularly large contingent from Holland (46). From Hungary there were four, from Czechoslovakia twelve, among them Drs Kucera and Dosuzkov of Prague and Dr and Mrs Imre Hermann of Budapest.
On each of the four mornings there was one long and one short lecture, each country, Holland included, taking over a day's lecture programme. Dr Ernst and Dr Gertrude Ticho came from Topeka (U.S.A.) and took over the lectures that had been allotted to the Austrian Society:
