I am very grateful to Stefano Bolognini, the president elect of the IPA, and to Alain Gibeault, who both had contributed to the panel and now, in spite of their multiple and great tasks in the European Psychoanalytic Federation (EPF) and the International Psychoanalytic Association (IPA), welcomed our project and elaborated their valuable contributions for this publication. My gratitude also goes to the EPF-programme-committees of the conferences for providing an open space for presentations and discussions and thus for fostering our ideas within professional communities. The papers I added here were also presented at the EPF conferences in Copenhagen (2011) and Paris (2012); in their final ver- sion they owe much to the lively feed backs. My thanks go to Gerda Schöbinger for her very helpful computer assistance, and to Helga Wolfgruber for her photo assistance. Finally I thank Peter Lang publishing house, in the first instance Norbert Wil- lenpart in Vienna, who is capable of kindly balancing scientific and economic interests, Stefan Tönne and Anne-Kathrin Grimmeißen, who facilitated the final process of publishing and helped to make this booklet ready for a first presenta- tion at the IPA-Conference in Prague 2013. Last not least I want to thank my husband for supporting me, whenever I was in danger of becoming overwhelmed by the editorial work.
