The Associate Members' Committee is pleased to announce that associate membership for this year has increased substantially, and we would like to extend a warm welcome to all new Associate Members. We would also like to announce the formation of a colloquium on the topic of professional identity, which will hopefully help students and beginning clinicians address not only practical questions related to their careers as psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapists, but also questions related to the broader question of professional identity. Two colloquia will be held monthly beginning in September 2001. I will facilitate the San Francisco colloquium, and Debbie Weisinger, Psy.D., will facilitate the Berkeley colloquium. Both colloquia feature analysts, training directors, candidates from local psychoanalytic institutes, and recent graduates who, relying upon their experience and expertise, will address specific topics related to the question of professional identity. For more information or to find out how to register, please contact me at (415) 673-3032, or Deborah Weisinger at (415) 522-7393.
