The 28th Congress of the International Psycho-Analytical Association will be held in Paris from Sunday, 22 July to Friday, 27 July 1973, inclusive. The Congress meetings will take place in the UNESCO Headquarters Building, which is centrally located and air-conditioned. There will not be a single and central theme for this Congress, but the Programme Committee will offer instead a broad array of Panels, Papers and Discussion Groups on a wide variety of psychoanalytic topics.
The Congress will open formally on Monday morning, 23 July, when Dr Leo Rangell will present his Presidential Address. Plenary session Panels on 'Transference' (chaired by Jacob Arlow) and on 'Hysteria Today' (chaired by Serge Lebovici) will be offered at the Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning meetings. The afternoon of Tuesday, 24 July will be devoted to a series of Discussion Groups and Colloquia which will permit the participation of Congress registrants in informally constituted smaller groups. The Tuesday afternoon activities will include a number of 'Dialogues' between eminent psychoanalysts, Workshops on a wide range of topics of special interest, discussion groups on 'The Role of Psychoanalysis in the Social Issues of Today' and on Hysteria and Transference. Individual scientific papers will be presented on Thursday, 26 July. The final scientific session on the morning of Friday, 27 July will feature an 'Open Forum: An Exchange with the Audience on Psychoanalytic Issues', where the audience will have the opportunity of asking members of the Panel to comment on any psychoanalytic question of interest.
