The Executive Council has voted to re-appoint Dr. John Frosch to another five-year term as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association. At the same time Dr. Nathaniel Ross was re-appointed to a three-year term as Associate Editor.
After voting these appointments, Council authorized the establishment of an Ad Hoc Committee on the Editorship, charged with the task of studying the question of the succession to the position of Editor of the Journal.
The Journal was founded in 1950
as an official APsaA publication. Dr. Frosch was appointed its first Editor-in-Chief and has held this position, through successive reappointments, until the present time, with Dr. Ross as the Associate Editor. During the years of Dr. Frosch's tenure, the Journal has achieved a prestigious position in the field of psychoanalysis.
