The anniversary of 100 years from the foundation of the International Psychoanalytical Association (I.P.A.), under whose sign the Romanian Society of Psycho-analysis (S.R.P.) holds its conference this year, draws attention to the importance of institutional problems for the development of psychoanalysis. I intend to address especially those particular aspects (con-flicts, repeated splits, the organization of formation) that led to changes within psychoanalytic institutions. I will also review the perspectives of psychoanalytic institutions in the near future.
