Seven members of the Toronto society sent a letter of intent to form their own branch to the Canadian Society on 7 December 1981: G. Aufreiter, J. Aufreiter (first president), J. Casselman (first secretary), D. Heilbrunn, J. Lohrenz (first treasurer), J. Mount, and Craig Powell. Branch status was granted the following year. The name they unanimously choose for themselves was the Southwestern Ontario Psychoanalytic Society. They were joined by graduates of the Toronto Institute living in London (C. Chamberlain, G. Donaldson, R. Egan, G. Gort, E. Hanna, G. Truant, and D. Turpin), and by members from other societies (D. Goldman. D. Hurley, D. Kligman, D. Schaffelburg, and A. Sheppard). W. Tillmann was made a lifetime honorary member in recognition of his pioneering contribution in the area of dynamic psychiatry in London.
Many distinguished guest speakers have come from other Canadian branch societies (H. Azim, G. Berman, J-P Bienvenu, G. Da Silva, E. Debbané, N. Doidge, M. Dongier, H. Hardin, A. Leonoff, W. Robinson, G. Sarwer-Foner, H. Walters), from the United States (J. Gedo, O. Kernberg, J. McLaughlin, S. Mitchell, and R. Waldinger), and from Spain (I. Oromi). And, of course, most recently, M. Gauthier, president of the Canadian society, was our guest speaker for the celebration of our 25th anniversary; he presented the paper being published in this journal, “‘A Further Complication’: Change and Superego”1 (along with a short complementary of mine, “Winnicott's Concept of Innate Morality,” also presented on the occasion).
