THE BRAZILIAN INSTITUTE OF PSYCHOANALYSIS informs us that on his arrival in Brazil in February of last year, Dr. Mark Burke initiated the didactic tasks essential to the forming of a group of psychoanalysts in Rio de Janeiro. The
opportunities for training will be augmented by the cooperation of Dr Werner Kemper of Berlin and Professor Emilio Servadio of Rome whom the Brazilian Institute of Psychoanalysis expected to arrive shortly thereafter. Dr. Domicio Arruda Câmara states: 'We are indebted to Dr. Ernest Jones, President of the International Psychoanalytic Association and dean of psychoanalysts, for the choice of these training analysts. The structure of the Institute is based on the collaboration of these analysts and is medico-scientific in character, having as its principal aims the therapeutic and preventive application of psychoanalysis in Brazil, and the effective training of candidates for the practice of psychoanalysis according to the principles and standards of the International Psychoanalytic Association. A large field exists in Brazil for the application of psychoanalysis not only in the domain of medicine, but also in the sphere of child and adult education. Therefore, this work which is so necessary will bring us great benefits collectively, and will be influential toward perfecting our medicine.'
