CIRCULAR LETTER (1934)1

Esteemed colleagues:

[1035]     At the last Congress2 of the International General Medical Society for Psychotherapy, it was decided to constitute the Society in the form of national groups.3 Therefore, national groups have now been formed or are being formed in the various countries that were represented at the Congress (Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland). The conditions of membership in these national groups vary according to the local bylaws. Because of the political circumstances and because national groups do not yet exist in all countries, so that individuals as such cannot join their respective groups, it has been decided that association with a national group is on a purely voluntary basis; in other words, individual membership is possible within the framework of the International General Medical Society for Psychotherapy.4

[1036]     The International Society is neutral as to politics and creed. Persons wishing to become members of it are invited to communicate with the general secretariat of the International Society, represented by Dr. W. Cimbal, Altona, or with the president’s general secretary, Dr. C. A. Meier, Burghölzli, Zurich.

[1037]     The organ of the Society is the Zentralblatt für Psychotherapie, Verlag S. Hirzel, Leipzig; subscription to members, 15 Reichsmarks per year, post-paid.

[1038]     We therefore respectfully invite you to join the International General Medical Society for Psychotherapy.
