国际精神分析协会(IPA)是历史最悠久、规模最大的国际精神分析组织和世界上主要的评审精神分析学科的监管机构。作为精神分析领域的专业协会，该协会的主要目标是推进科学精神分析的学科发展并促进精神分析作为一种心理治疗职业的健康成长、保护其不被滥用。IPA通过建立相关专业培训标准和精神分析师认证系统，在世界各地发展合格的精神分析师。因此，IPA还致力于促进不同国家的精神分析师之间建立联系、促进交流，增强精神分析师对国际精神分析组织和社区的参与感和归属感。目前IPA精神分析师人数已经超过13,000人，拥有百余个委员会。IPA每两年会在不同国家举办一次学术大会，不同地区的学术会议及学术研讨会也丰富多彩。

精神分析由奥地利心理学家西格蒙德.弗洛伊德创立，国际精神分析协会(International Psychoanalysis Association，以下简称IPA)是由弗洛伊德和其同事共同创立的国际学术组织。该组织的前身是始于1902年的“星期三心理协会”，当时弗洛伊德邀请了4位精神分析学说的爱好者斯特克尔、阿德勒(Adler)、卡哈内(Kahane)和赖特勒(Reitler)于每周三一起讨论精神分析学说的相关议题，故称“星期三心理协会”。到了1908年该协会发展为14人，更名为“维也纳精神分析学会”。同年，很多后来成为精神分析重要人物的人员加入其中，如费伦齐(Ferenczi)、埃廷根(Eitingon)、荣格(Jung)、亚伯拉罕(Abraham)和琼斯(Jones)等，他们后来都担任过IPA 的主席。1908年4月27日在萨尔茨堡举行的“弗洛伊德心理学的第一次大会”现在被认为是第一次国际精神分析大会，正是这次会议商定建立一个国际协会的想法，随后在1910年3月在纽伦堡召开第二次会议上，正式成立了国际精神分析协会。荣格任IPA第一任主席。IPA诞生至今，走过百余年，历经诸多变故，在学术发展的道路上及组织上已相当成熟，也更加国际化。2010年，IPA在中国举办了首届精神分析会议，探讨亚洲背景下的精神分析发展和变化，喜欢精神分析的国人日渐增多，运用精神分析疗法帮助来访者或病人的精神分析学者队伍也日益壮大。2021年7月“IPA中国学组”也正式成立了(参见本网站《IPA中国学组发展史》)。

IPA Introduction

International Psychoanalysis Association，IPA

The International Psychoanalytic Association (IPA) is the oldest and largest international psychoanalytic organization and the world's leading supervisory and management authority for the evaluation of psychoanalytic discipline. As a professional association in the field of psychoanalysis, the main goal of the association is to promote the development of scientific psychoanalysis, promote the healthy growth of psychoanalysis as a psychotherapy profession, and protect it from abuse. IPA has developed qualified psychoanalysts around the world by establishing relevant professional training standards and professional membership certification system. Therefore, IPA is also committed to promoting the establishment of contacts and communication among psychoanalysts from different countries, and enhancing the sense of participation and belonging of psychoanalysts to international psychoanalytic organizations and communities. At present, the number of IPA psychoanalysts has exceeded 13000, with more than 100 committees. IPA holds academic conferences in different countries every two years, and academic conferences and seminars in different regions are also colorful.

Psychoanalysis was founded by Austrian psychologist Sigmund Freud. The International Psychoanalysis Association (IPA) is an international academic organization jointly founded by Freud and his colleagues. The predecessor of the organization was the "Wednesday Psychological Association", which began in 1902. At that time, Freud invited four fans of psychoanalysis, Steckel, Adler, Kahane and Reitler, to discuss the relevant issues of psychoanalysis on Wednesday, so it was called the "Wednesday Psychological Association". By 1908, the association had grown to 14 people and was renamed "Vienna Psychoanalytic Society". In the same year, many people who later became important psychoanalysts joined in, such as Ferenczi, Ettingon, Jung, Abraham and Jones, who later served as the chairman of the IPA. The "First Conference of Freudian Psychology", held in Salzburg on April 27, 1908, is now considered the first international psychoanalytic conference. It was at this conference that the idea of establishing an international association was agreed upon. Then, at the second conference held in Nuremberg in March 1910, the International Psychoanalytic Association was formally established. Jung served as the first chairman of the IPA. Since its birth, IPA has gone through more than one hundred years and many changes. It has become quite mature and more international in terms of academic development and organization. In 2010, IPA held the first psychoanalysis conference in China to discuss the development and changes of psychoanalysis in the Asian context. The number of Chinese people who like psychoanalysis is increasing, and the number of psychoanalysts who use psychoanalytic therapy to help their clients or patients is also growing. In July 2021, the "IPA China Study Group" was also formally established (see the development history of IPA China Study Group on this website).
