What is IPSO?

IPSO Mission:
IPSO was established to provide IPA candidates with an opportunity to come together to discuss issues of training, theory, and practice, as well as to offer a social context for candidates’ cross-cultural engagement.
We are committed to the belief that exposure to the pluralism and diversity of psychoanalytic traditions is an important part of a candidate’s well-rounded education.
By offering opportunities to recognize and explore both our similarities and differences, IPSO helps candidates to bridge and appreciate the diversity and richness of the many psychoanalytic traditions;
It provides the international width to complement the local depth.
