15th Joint Meeting with OPIFER - Pisa, Italy - October 11-12, 2014
The American Academy of Psychoanalysis and Dynamic Psychiatry will hold its fifteenth joint meeting with the Organizzazione di Psicoanalisti Italiani-Federazione e Registro (OPIFER) in Pisa, Italy, October 11-12, 2014.
The theme of the meeting is “Psychotherapy with Challenging Patients: Honoring the 100th Anniversary of Silvano Arieti’s Birth”. The OPIFER meetings are open to all members of the Academy, and to other psychiatrists from the USA and abroad. The meeting will be held at the Scuola Normale Superiore. The Scuola was founded in 1810 by a Napoleonic decree. It is located in the center of Pisa, on the Piazza del Castelletto.
Dr. Arieti (6/26/14 - 8/7/81) was a President of the Academy and an Editor of its Journal. He was born in Pisa and attended medical school there, but had to flee Italy because of the Nazis. During his lifetime, he was regarded as one of the foremost authorities on schizophrenia and published extensively. His book, “Interpretation of Schizophrenia,” won the 1975 National Book Award in Science.
Dr. Arieti was also known both here and in Italy as a gifted clinician and teacher. There is a street in Pisa named after him. Academy President Dr. Michael Blumenfield wrote a letter to the Italian authorities in support of the Associazione Arieti’s efforts to have a stamp issued to commemorate the centenary of Arieti’s birth and the Italian government has just announced that it is issuing the stamp in 2014.
The Academy’s Keynote Speaker at the meeting will be Dr. Eugenio Rothe, Academy Treasurer, and Professor of Psychiatry and Public Health at the Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine. There will be other outstanding speakers as well from Europe and the U.S.
