According to the IPA it is 'The world's primary psychoanalytic accrediting and regulatory body, with 10,500 members in over forty-five countries. The IPA works in partnership with its Component Organizations to train, support and network psychoanalysts, developing clinical, educational and research programmes'. It is well-known that the history of psychoanalysis is replete with organizational schisms and primary issues of 'inclusion-exclusion'. Who is a real psychoanalyst? "That are the necessary acceptable professional 'standards'? 'While standards' should be derived from knowledge, they are often derived from power and are often really a mask for power-plays. The others' have included those from both outside and within the psychoanalytic movement. Outsiders include medicine and the universities, psychotherapists, other psychoanalysts and other disciplines. Deviationists ,.vithin the IPA include other schools vvithin the'broad church' of psychoanalysis or even just those who don't fit with the proclivities of those in power sometimes rationalized into issues of standards Language eng Field of Research 160699 Political Science not elsewhere classified Socio Economic Objective 970116 Expanding Knowledge through Studies of Human Society HERDC Research category C1 Refereed article in a scholarly journal Copyright notice ©2003 Group Relations Australia Persistent URL http://hdl.handle.net/10536/DRO/DU:30002285 Document type: Journal Article Collections: Faculty of Arts and Education School of Social and International Studies   Link to Related Work The exclusionary policies of 'us and them' in the IPA and psychoanalytic institutes (deposited 03-12-2021) Australian Institute of Socio-Analysis Publisher (deposited 28-02-2013) Group Relations Australia Publisher (deposited 28-02-2013)   Unless expressly stated otherwise, the copyright for items in DRO is owned by the author, with all rights reserved.
