IPA Inter-Regional Encyclopedic Dictionary of Psychoanalysis

Welcome to the new IPA Inter-Regional Encyclopedic Dictionary of Psychoanalysis, which is intended to be a truly international and up-to-date tool for all psychoanalysts and psychotherapists who work psychoanalytically, as well as for scholars in the academic and cultural fields and anyone interested in psychoanalysis.

The Dictionary is currently a work in progress. All our finished entries are made available in the IPA official languages of English, French, German and Spanish.

Panels



We held a very successful Panel at the 2023 IPA Congress in Cartagena, on 'The Inevitable Socio-cultural Dimension of Psychoanalytic Concepts', focusing on the profound influences of socio-cultural realities on the evolution of concepts. Recognition of such influences is written into the basic philosophy of the IRED project. They reverberate through the regional and inter-regional work, as the regional and tri-regional teams, guided by Co-Chair strive for the fullest representation of all viable perspectives across the three IPA  regions.

The panel IPA Inter-Regional Encyclopedic Dictionary: Migration and Mutation of Concepts took place on the last day of the IPA Vancouver Congress, August 1st, 2021.

Focusing on the concepts of Self and Intersubjectivity, the panelists Stefano Bolognini (Chair of IRED), Arne Jemstedt (Co-Chair for Europe), Ines Bayona (Co-Chair for Latin America) and Eva Papiasvili (Co-Chair for North America) elucidated how the concepts change (mutate) as they cross (migrate) among different psychoanalytic and socio-cultural geographies.

I was very interested in your examination of the unconscious - one of the most thorough that I've seen so far.
