During the 75th Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C., last May, the Association approved three new study groups; so we take this opportunity to welcome the Minnesota Study Group, the Psychoanalytic Study Group of Kansas City and the Tampa-Southwest Florida Psychoanalytic Group.
Also, a new study group in the Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona area invites members who may visit their area to let them know if you'd like to share your analytic perspectives. They welcome an informal exchange of analytic theory and practice and/or discussion of papers written by visitors. Arrange a meeting, and the mutual benefits can include a tax deduction for your winter vacation.
