The IPA was established in 1910 during the first International Psychoanalytical Congress in Nuremberg, Germany. Sigmund Freud played a pivotal role in its creation, aiming to promote the development and dissemination of psychoanalytic knowledge and practice. The founding members included prominent figures such as Carl Jung, Sándor Ferenczi, and Ernest Jones.
Structure[edit | edit source]
The IPA is governed by an Executive Council, which is elected by its members. The organization is divided into three regions: Europe, North America, and Latin America. Each region has its own regional association that coordinates activities and supports local psychoanalytic societies.

The primary objectives of the IPA are:
- To promote the development and application of psychoanalysis.
- To ensure the highest standards of training and practice.
- To support research in psychoanalysis.
- To facilitate communication and collaboration among psychoanalysts worldwide.
