In this bulletin we are pleased to give you the reports of two regional groups who beautifully exemplify the energy and diversity of our Society members. Our colleagues in Israel and Mexico City tell us about an impressive amount of meetings, study groups, and research efforts! You will also see the excellent interdisciplinary outreach that they are engaged in, interacting with colleagues from a wide range of disciplines and introducing ever more people to the rich realm of neuropsychoanalysis.
We look forward to receiving news from your group for the next issue, and hope to see all of you at the 17th International Neuropsychoanalysis Congress on “Other Minds” to be held in Chicago on July 7–10, 2016.

June included the visit of Arturo Kerbel, a doctoral researcher working at Katerina Fotopoulou's lab at the University College London,
