This international gathering of psycho-analysts took place in Paris from 28 July to 1 August, 1957, and a full report will shortly be published in the Bulletin. Our French colleagues deserve our thanks for the splendid work of organization and for the hospitality they extended to the members and guests of the International Congress. The Congress was opened by the President, Dr. Heinz Hartmann, who with this Congress brought to a close his third term of office. Dr. Ernest Jones, our Honorary President, was the first speaker, and over 700 members and guests gave him an ovation before and after his paper. The majority of the papers read, including two of the three Panel Discussions, will be published in Volume 39 of this Journal during 1958.
