[The-Lacanalyst] Regulations in the USA

[Jacques B. Siboni]

Dear colleagues

Yesterday at a day to give a tribute to Jean-Michel Vappereau
I had the pleasure to reconnect to Scully-Robert Groom, a colleague
living partly in Berlin and Los Angeles. He gave me great
legal information regarding the legal statute of psychoanalysis in the USA.
I discovered that except for New York State and Massachusetts, the
statute is similar to France's!! Anyone in the 48 other states can
decide they work as psychoanalysts as a private practice. They can put
a placard saying so in front of their office.

I have registered him on the lacanalyst mailing list. Robert can you be
kind enough to explain the situation which is so seriously misunderstood
by psychoanalysts in the US.

Tell us

Cheers

Jacques
