CLINICAL DISCUSSION GROUPS
IPA Communications Committee

Registration is closed.

Clinical Discussion Groups are gatherings for the discussion of clinical material brought by participants and moderated by accomplished psychoanalysts. The group will convene once a month for four months, with each meeting lasting one and a half hours (90 minutes). Each group will consist of 10 to 15 participants, exclusively IPA members or candidates. At the end of the activity, a document will be compiled with the group's conclusions on theory, technique, or any new thoughts that may have arisen. This document may be submitted for presentation at the next IPA congress or uploaded to the Knowledge Hub on the IPA website.

Mandatory conditions regarding the protection of sensitive data:
a) Have a signed informed consent from the patient to be presented.
b) Conduct virtual meetings on encrypted platforms, such as Zoom or Meet.
