Southern Europe, including Israel and Australia. Australia is remarkable by the importance of the exchanges, institutional as well as individual, between the society and other psychotherapy organizations. The other techniques belong to the adjustment of the setting to meet the needs of non-neurotic organizations. Analytic psychodrama is one of those original approaches used by certain institutes belonging to countries such as France, Switzerland, Belgium and Spain. The number of sessions does not constitute a valid criterion inasmuch as it is only one of the elements that define the setting of the classical cure.
Teaching is a complement to the training of psychoanalysts.
It is not to be given outside, so as to avoid training competitors while denaturing the value and the difficulty of our work. Thus, a rather large consensus converges from these societies towards the idea that psychoanalytic psychotherapies should not be undertaken by practitioners who are not psychoanalysts. Of course, the positions prevalent in North America also find themselves very widely defended in Europe, though perhaps more to the North than to the South. That is the most important point which the members of the committee who have analysed the answers for Europe wished to underline. In any case, our colleagues who have collected the information in Latin America report a general dissatisfaction with regard to the training and the definition of respective identities, as well as a demand for strategies to deal with this situation.
