Welcome  

We would like to welcome you to the International New Groups (ING) site.  

 Our aim is to inform IPA colleagues about the work of the ING Committee and to share with you our experiences of working in new areas, new countries and with new cultures. We would also like to introduce you to our ING community which includes IPA colleagues working as Sponsors, Liaisons and Site Visit Committees, with new Study Groups and Provisional Societies in Europe, Latin America, North America and Asia.  The ING Committee also works with the Latin American Institute (a joint venture with the Latin American Federation for Psychoanalysis - FEPAL) the European Psychoanalytic Institute EPI (a joint venture with the European Psychoanalytic Federation - EPF), and the IPA China Committee.  

The work of the ING is an important aspect of the IPA activities, we hope that a better awareness of the expansion and development of psychoanalysis in new areas could be a stimulus for reflection on contemporary psychoanalysis, on its challenges and difficulties but also on the interest and opportunities for the future in a changing world.  

If you have any questions or would like to give some feedback on the information on this page, please write to: [email protected] or [email protected].
