About
The WPA "Psychoanalysis in Psychiatry" Section officially began in 2002, finding its place as one of seventy-two WPA sections, after a long process coordinated by Daniel Simon Kipman (France). The aims of the section/study group are to explore how psychoanalysis may enrich daily clinical practice of psychiatry and provide a forum for interdisciplinary trans-theoretical discussions. Section members study links between theory and practice of psychodynamic psychiatry, neuroscience, social sciences, the humanities and clinical research.
The "Psychoanalysis in Psychiatry" section concerns itself with: The dissemination of psychoanalytic theory to psychiatrists and other expert mental health clinicians. · The promotion of discussion of the role and function of psychoanalysis in psychiatry, medicine, and healthcare in general. The creation of links with different fields of research – within psychiatry itself and also other fields providing psychiatrists and mental health clinicians worldwide with opportunities to advance psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy competency and performance through educational activities.
