[The-Lacanalyst] Regulations in the USA

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
