“I would even go so far as to muse that this conference was born partly from a covert agenda to punish the American–not to bring us together really, but rather to stabilize and strengthen the fact of our separateness. Some may even hope to do harm to the American, to weaken its influence.”
This ecumenical conference was my idea, and I would like to assure all of you that punishment and exclusion were not part of my agenda. Quite the opposite. So I would like to set the record straight with a brief history.
Our field has been fractious from the beginning. Those in Freud’s inner circle who dared to disagree were cast out; they formed their own factions and the battles began. While some feel energized by adversity and debate, I prefer to seek the security of unity. My wish is for all of the groups to join together, to derive strength in their combined numbers. We need not agree on everything, but we must respect one another’s positions.
For years I have experienced the competition of institutes and umbrella groups, oft times ignoring each other’s existence. For instance, there has been little, if any, cooperation between the 5 IPA institutes in

I had never heard of It’s a Wonderful Life until one winter night in the early eighties. I was feeling out of sorts. I don’t remember the particular details but I know that I was feeling down, unfulfilled, frustrated, disappointed, perhaps lonely, unconfident, worried and otherwise unhappy. Those who have never felt that way need not read on.

DISCUSSION GROUP 71 will meet at our usual time slot 4:45-7:15 PM on Thursday,
January 18, at the APsaA Meetings at the Waldorf Astori in New York City. All attendees at the Winter Meeting are cordially invited to attend up to the space limits of our assigned room.
As momentum continues to build for the wide-spread conversion of medical records to electronic form, increasingly complicated and confusing issues arise as to if and how we can translate our traditional methods of maintaining the privacy of patient information into what may well become mandatory arrangements in the coming new world of health care. If we hope to maintain the status of psychoanalysis as part of the health care system, we must face these challenges head on.
Continuing with our overall theme of exploring and discussing broad issues of psychoanalytic confidentiality in an interdisciplinary context, the Jaffee-Redmond The Discussion Group’s January meeting will again focus on the transition to the new world of electronic record-keeping and the challenges to privacy that we will be facing as a result.
We are most fortunate in having as our Guest Discussant for this meeting ROBERT PLOVNICK, M.S., M.D., Director, Dept. of Quality Improvement and Psychiatric Services, American Psychiatric Association. Rob is both a psychiatrist and an “informatics” expert and is especially sensitive to the special privacy needs of psychiatric patients. He has represented the APA in a wide variety of national forums where the actual structures of the electronic medical records systems of the future are NOW being negotiated.
