Mission
- The mission of PPRS is to provide a community for all those interested in empirical psychodynamic/psychoanalytic research, in scholarship related to psychoanalytic theory and practice, as well as relevant scholarship from ‘neighboring fields’ to gather, share, and discuss their work. Membership is open to all.
- PPRS is an independent organization, associated with APsaA but not under its direct control, and will maintain an open policy of collaborating with all organizations that support its mission.
- PPRS is committed to a membership that is professionally and geographically diverse. That is, the goal is to have active members from all professional groups (PhD, MD, social work degrees, etc.) and from all countries.
- PPRS is especially committed to supporting the training and development of young researchers as they will form the future of our field.
- PPRS will maintain a transparent and democratic process for electing officials, making organizational decisions, and choosing papers and presentations for meetings.
