Welcome messages

Dear Colleague,

It is our great honour to invite you to the 15th World ISPPM Congress. The time has come for us to pause, to reflect for a moment and to review and organize the substantial amount of scientific information Pre and Perinatal Psychology and Medicine has accumulated in the last three decades of the 20th Century. Now, at the beginning of the 21st Century, is the appropriate time to integrate this knowledge from a variety of related disciplines, in order to project a new vision for the individual and the society. Pre and Perinatal Psychology and Medicine are uniquely qualified to enable our own and future generations to visualize and to actualise new opportunities, prospects, possibilities and potentials for human development. Here are just some questions expected to draw keen interest: What preventive strategies for better birthing can be devised from therapeutic experience? How can result of Experimental Psychology and Developmental Psychology be integrated into Neonatology? Is it possible to find a common path for Prenatal Psychology and Psychoanalysis? What contribution can Psychoneuroendocrinology make to the better understanding of the working of body-mind connection?

We invite you to join together to explore the answers to these and other questions of moment.

Ludwig Janus M.D.

Jenö Raffai Ph.D.

On behalf of the Scientific Committee I do invite all psychoanalysts who are interested in the field of psychoanalytical psychology of the fetus and of new born children. The Congress will be held in Budapest, a town with a tradition in this field. Sándor Ferenczi, who lived and worked here, made his pioneering observations on the influence of mother’s emotions and attitudes on the psychical and physical development of their fetus and on its later life. Ferenczi thought that mother’s love counterbalances the death instinct of the fetus and unwelcome children are more prone to diseases, to social maladaptation and to suicidal attempts. He was a pioneer also in this line of psychoanalytical research. Since 1929, the year when he published his paper on the mother-fetus relationship, many psychoanalysts followed his researches. Nandor Fodor, a Hungarian psychoanalyst followed Ferenczi’s line, researched prenatal events in psychic life, their consequences in dreams, especially the aftereffects of pre-and perinatal traumas. Observation of Alice and Michael Bálint on primary love, on love of the mother and mother love are an other building block of this psychoanalytic tradition. In Budapest we developed in our days a method to teach mothers to communicate with their fetuses and by it to better their relationship. Psychoanalytic tradition and present day works will be treated at this Congress and I hope that psychoanalysts interested in these themes would come from all part of the world and could share and integrate their experiences with researches and clinicians from other fields of pre-and perinatal psychology and medicine.

I hope that you will find our Congress enough attractive to participate in it, in Budapest one of the old capitals of psychoanalysis. Looking forward to seeing you in Budapest. With best wishes
