Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the IPA Board, I want to send our sincere congratulations and thanks for this third edition of the Open Door Review, which continues this circulation process of psychoanalytic research. It is easy to see how this Review will be extremely stimulating not only for professional psychoanalysts, but also for all those who are involved in research organisations, universities and mental health bodies. The majority of people, many analysts included, are not aware of the tremendous work done year after year by the researchers in our field, and this publication will opportunely provide them with something that is much needed today: the meaningful outcome of empirical research, a parallel dimension which scientifically integrates the better known clinical research. Furthermore, few people know that the IPA finances many of these research plans, and that each year the IPA spends up to 20% of our total activity budget on funding research. I want to thank all our prestigious colleagues of the IPA Research Board: Committee Chair, Mark Solms, Co-Chairs Marianne Leuzinger-Bohleber , Ricardo Bernardi, Robert Galatzer-Levy and, as well as Horst Kächele and all those who have contributed to this excellent new edition.
As IPA Members, we are proud and grateful for this remarkable scientific contribution.
It shows once more how the contemporary psychoanalytic community wants to actively keep itself updated and connected with a larger empirical research vision, which can confirm and strengthen its clinical and theoretical achievements and provide evidence on the efficacy of psychoanalysis to the whole scientific community.
So, welcome to this third edition of the Open Door Review!
