The sixteenth annual meeting of the American Psychoanalytic Association which took place in New York on June 10th, was especially noteworthy in that for the first time in the history of the organization a joint session was held with the American Psychiatric Association, the largest and most influential society in this field in America. The meeting thus afforded the Psychoanalytic Association an opportunity for placing before a very large group of physicians the psychoanalytic point of view. The program was as follows:
“The Need of an Analytic Psychiatry.” Dr. Trigant Burrow, Baltimore. “A Case Report of an Anxiety Hysteria Treated by Psychoanalysis.” Dr. Adolf Stern, New York.
(The above in joint session with the American Psychiatric Association.)
“Speaking of Resistances.” Dr. Trigant Burrow, Baltimore.
“A Character Type in Psychoanalysis. “Dr. I. H. Coriat, Boston.
“A Psychoanalytic Introduction to a Study of the Conduct Disorders of Lethargic Encephalitis.” Dr. L. Pierce Clark, New York.
“Notes on the Theory of the Symbol.” Dr. H. C. Sullivan, Baltimore.
The attendance at both the joint session and at the special session was the largest of any meeting of the society held in America.
The following were elected to membership at the business session: Dr. P. H. Lehrman, New York City; Dr. Lucile Dooley, Washington, D. C.; Dr. Marion Kenworthy, New York; Dr. Philip S. Graven, Washington, D. C.
The officers for the ensuing year are:
