IPA
The IPA is a membership organisation – we exist because of our members, and for their benefit. One of our primary aims is to foster and enhance members’ sense of participation in and belonging to an international psychoanalytic organisation and community. The IPA exists to advance psychoanalysis. It is the world’s primary accrediting and regulatory body for the profession, and our mission is to ensure the continued vigour and development of the science of psychoanalysis.

COWAP
The Committee was established in 1998 to provide a framework for the exploration of topics relating to issues primarily of concern to women. In 2001 it shifted to considering the relations between men and women, masculinity and femininity, and currently includes issues of concern to men.
The overall strategic objective of the Group of Committees is “to foster scientific development and learning, and the maintenance of high professional standards”
