This is the first full Bulletin of the International Psychoanalytical Association I have edited as the new Secretary of the IPA.
Since Dr. Horacio Etchegoyen was elected in Buenos Aires in 1991 as the first Latin American President of the IPA, I have accompanied him to a number of meetings, in particular to those of the IPA's Executive Council, with the purpose of becoming familiar with the questions, problems and procedures of this international organisation.
