Message from the President
As the 2020-2021 HPS year comes to a close, I would like to acknowledge the enormous contributions of time and effort by our HPS Board of Directors. Please give a special thanks to Anne Strain, LCSW, who is leaving the board after completing her term of service as President and Past President. As many of you know, HPS has flourished as a result of Anne’s leadership during a critical time in the history of our community. Special recognition is also owed to Dr. JoAnn Ponder, our President-Elect. JoAnn requested to stay on the Board as Program Chair rather than as President for the upcoming year. JoAnn’s unremitting dedication of countless hours to HPS programming cannot be overstated.
I would also like to acknowledge with gratitude the contributions of our colleagues who attend our programs, making possible the interchange of diverse experiences and expertise so important to our learning community.
Lastly, on behalf of HPS, I want to express our deep appreciation for generous monetary donations to HPS in 2020, and in previous years, by an individual who prefers to remain anonymous. These donations assure our survival, continued growth and outreach efforts, and provision of high-quality programs.
As we approach the new HPS 2021-2022 year, I want to draw your attention to the lineup of outstanding HPS Programs for the upcoming year, the theme of which is “Evolving Theories, Current Challenges, and Future Directions in Psychoanalytic Practice.” Our first conference, on August 20th and 21st, features Dr. Mark Solms, who will be speaking on neuropsychoanalytic revisions of Drive Theory and Ego Psychology, and application of these revisions to clinical practice. Please do take a moment join or renew your HPS membership now.
I look forward to seeing you at HPS Events in the upcoming year!
Warm Regards,
Lisa Miller, MD, President

Support PsiAN - Please Read!! |
|
Earlier this year, HPS joined the Psychotherapy Action Network (PsiAN) as a Strategic Partner, with representation on its Steering Committee, adding to the roster of organizations, including APsaA, AAPCSW, Division 32, Division 39, psychoanalytic institutes, graduate programs and community mental health agencies, that support PsiAN.
The PsiAN community is dedicated to promoting psychotherapies of depth, insight, and relationship, and to restoring these therapies to their fundamental place in the mental health landscape through activism, education, publicity, and legislative change. Please click here to read about how PsiAN is working to change the public narrative about psychotherapies of depth, insight, and relationship.
An important action that we can all take to support PsiAN is to join as individual members. I encourage you to join PsiAN by clicking here. Membership is free.
The Group for the Advancement of Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis in Psychology (GAPPP) has awarded PsiAN a grant of $75,000, for a total of $100,000, contingent upon PsiAN’s raising $25,000 in matching funds.
Increase the impact of HPS donations with my matching donation of $500! Please click here to make a tax-deductible donation to PsiAN. PsiAN’s sole aim is to advocate for psychotherapists and psychotherapies of depth, insight and relationship. Supporting PsiAN supports us all.
Sincerely,
Lisa Miller, MD, President
