The Association of European Psychoanalysts (APE) works for a supportive and committed psychoanalysis. Through attractive colloquia, festivals and seminars, the Association promotes professional exchange and the dissemination of psychoanalytic knowledge, while constantly celebrating the cultural richness of the unconscious.
Embracing the diversity of analytical approaches, the APE provides and encourages links between clinicians from different backgrounds, as a transdisciplinary melting pot where the most innovative ideas in psychoanalysis can converge. From the earliest writings of Plato to the revolutionary work of James Hillman, the Association welcomes all contributions that help to unravel the mysteries of the unconscious.
More than just another association, it is a thriving laboratory of ideas where patients and professionals in the field of psychoanalysis come together for mutual enrichment. This intellectual effervescence brings new perspectives, made possible by a permanent international networking community operating on a European and global scale.
At the dawn of this new century, the Association is committed to ensuring that psychoanalysis continues to develop dynamically alongside the fascinating advances in neuroscience, in line with changes in society and the evolution of cultures.
The APE draws firmly on the roots of our discipline to think more effectively about the future. By embodying a true bridge between the past, present and future of psychoanalysis, it acts as a catalyst for ideas, an invaluable meeting place for souls passionate about the unconscious and willing to explore the deepest places of the human psyche with an open and enlightened mind.
