sources of income. Various projects are in easurer’s Report hand. A fundraising campaign was launched earlier this year to provide loans to support the training of candidates in Eastern Europe. This has generated more than $25,000 USD through the generosity of many IPA members. Efforts are being made to sell appropriate advertising both in the Roster and International Psychoanalysis, and active steps are being made to locate a suitable sponsor for the Toronto Congress. These efforts are slow to build up but over time can produce modest but nevertheless important sums in support of IPA work.In the broader fundraising field, the next steps are to identify and approach external donor organizations which might have an interest in working with the IPA in co- funding some of its activities, such as the IPA’s work in understanding terrorism, its activities with the United Nations and possibly in some research areas. The IPA is Moisés Lemlij also sowing the seeds of a new publishing policy, which in time will reap scientific and financial benefits.

When the gross Congress income is included, the IPA is still 80% dependent on its income from dues for its expenditure needs. Reducing this dependency is attracting much effort from the current administration. It is a difficult but not impossible task, and it will take much trial and effort to identify the most beneficial strategies.

The auditors found no significant weaknesses in control during the course of their inspections of the IPA’s finances. However, they did highlight a number of areas requiring attention. These included improved dues debtor controls, more frequent statements of cash flow, better monitoring of progress against budgets, IPA Dues 2002 and the development of a manual of financial procedures.

These struggles to build solid foundations for the psychoanalytic profession in Eastern countries are Russia, Ukraine, Estonia, Europe.

Besides the constant difficulties, there are important positive aspects. The PIEE candidates are strongly motivated and their capacity to make the best use of every teaching opportunity is impressive. Their training is usually done with analysts, supervisors and teachers from different societies and different theoretical approaches, so that they are used to learning in an international environment. Still, it should be mentioned that the PIEE’s Jan van Schaik, M.D., Milwaukee, USA candidates have analysts, supervisors and members of the institute staff who will never be the leading group of the society If you have not yet donated and would like to do so, please visit the IPA Website in which they will later develop and at www.ipa.org.uk or simply post your contribution to the IPA at Broomhills, perform their analytic professional life.

Wallerstein explains the IPA‘s rationale behind the funding of research projects. Research Funding operating guidelines that are designed to make the award process more flexible and user-friendly. The RAB has always supported the entire spectrum of psychoanalytic research, ranging from empirical studies of psychoanalytic process and outcome research, through developmental studies, psychosomatic studies, studies of personality organization (quantitative or qualitative), through to qualitative clinical research, conceptual research and historical research. This is in keeping with the policy of separating our parent research committee into two committees – one dedicated to empirical research and chaired by Peter Fonagy of London, and the other dedicated to conceptual research and chaired by Marianne Leuzinger-Bohleber of Frankfurt.

In addition, in recent funding cycles, we have inaugurated $2000 USD Robert S. Wallerstein consultation grants, for individuals with meritorious research ideas who need money to cover travel and expenses for expert consultation in framing their ideas into workable proposals. We also want to emphasize the importance of research Since 1985 the IPA has steadily deepened experience of the American Psychoanalytic into all aspects of psychoanalytic in its support of, and participation in, Association with a similar Fund for education and would accord special psychoanalytic research.
