THE EUROPEAN FEDERATION FOR PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30[TH] SEPTEMBER 2024
The trustees present their report together with the accounts of The European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (“the Federation”) for the year ended 30[th] September 2024. The European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy is a registered charity, registered with the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales under number 1046731. The reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy is established with the following objectives: to advance education, training and the development of psychotherapy which is psychoanalytic in principle and practice; to promote for the public benefit the relief of mental illness or disorder by developing psychoanalytic psychotherapy in Europe; and to promote research in psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The Federation furthers its objectives as follows: by publishing the EFPP Book Series (formerly known as clinical monographs); by maintaining and developing communications with members of the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy throughout Europe; and by supporting the development of psychotherapy in the Federation’s four sections at national level. There have been no material changes in policy since the last report.
STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy is an unincorporated association governed by the Law of England and Wales and by its written constitution, which was last amended in March 2017 and originally adopted in March 1991.
The European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy is composed of four sections representing: (i) individual adult psychoanalytic psychotherapy; (ii) group analytic psychotherapy; (iii) child and adolescent psychoanalytic psychotherapy; and (iv) couple and family psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Each section has its own defined training standards, and these form part of the Federation’s byelaws. Sections meet as frequently as they decide, as well as at the same times as general meetings of the Federation called by the Executive Committee.
Membership of the Federation is open to all European countries. Each member country may send up to two delegates from each section to a general meeting. The delegates are appointed by the organisation or organisations from the member countries that appear to the Federation to represent the section of the profession in the country concerned.

THE EUROPEAN FEDERATION FOR PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30[TH] SEPTEMBER 2024
STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (continued)
The trustees of the Federation are the members of the Executive Committee. Since 13[th] March 2009, with the inclusion of the fourth section, the Executive Committee has been made up of two persons elected from each section of the Federation and a chairperson. Since October 2010 the general meeting of the delegates has elected the chairperson separately and directly. The Executive Committee may co-opt additional members at its discretion subject to the number of co-opted members not exceeding 1/3rd of the total Executive Committee. The trustees are responsible for the overall management and control of the Federation and meet regularly to manage its affairs.
The Federation has no paid staff and relies heavily upon the commitment of the members of its Executive Committee, who give freely of their time and expertise in furtherance of the Federation’s objectives. For administration the Federation has an Administrative Officer based in Berlin and a Finance Officer based in the UK. The Finance Officer is a co-opted trustee and is paid in a self-employed capacity for her role as internal charity financial officer.
PERFORMANCE AND ACHIEVEMENTS
All regular meetings via Zoom and in person have continued, allowing greater cooperation and ongoing collaboration on several tasks and projects.
EFPP President, Maria Eugenia Cid Rodriguez and the board was working on the most important institutional tasks in hand and addressed urgent matters.
Help Ukraine
At the beginning of 2022, the Federation was impacted strongly by the war in Ukraine that started in February and affected two EFPP constituents (UAPP and the APPU) directly. The EFPP board decided to support these constituents, morally and financially. The EFPP President and the board have from the start of the conflict declared our unwavering solidarity and support for our colleagues in need. The working group "Help Ukraine" (chaired by Hansjorg Messner and Cristina Calarasanu) has been tasked with coordinating support efforts.
This project aims to provide the following types of assistance to our Ukrainian colleagues: financial donations, professional support through seminars and teaching about trauma, supervision and other support, as required.
We also received approximately €15,000 from various countries, and from members of the EFPP, in support of Ukraine. The funds were redirected to UAPP and APPU, the two main Ukrainian psychoanalytic psychotherapy organisations.
As the conflict persists, we are planning a second appeal for support. This initiative aims to strengthen their educational and clinical efforts, enabling them to care for traumatised civilians and returning soldiers.

EFPP Delegates Meeting
The online Delegates Meeting took place on Saturday, 9 March 2024. The programme featured two engaging presentations: the first by a delegate representing the Finnish National Network, and the second by a delegate from the Romanian National Network.
The next EFPP biennial Delegates Meeting has at the date of this report already been held, for the first time in Bucharest, Romania. This was a hybrid meeting. The organising team for the Delegates Meeting was, Cristina Calarasanu, Section Chair of PCFP and Vice President, together with Sanda Lepoiev, President of the Romanian Society.
The biennial Delegates meeting brought together the elected representatives (delegates) of the national networks and organisations of the federation. During the event, important strategic issues were discussed and democratically decided upon.
The biennial Delegates Meeting placed emphasis on EFPP’s organisational structure, including section meetings to elect new Section Chairs and Board Representatives. This process supports leadership continuity and reinforces democratic decisionmaking.
There was a special discussion, featuring past, present, and future EFPP Presidents and Board Members, moderated by President María Eugenia Cid. Brian Martindale, the founder of the EFPP, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to witness the organisation’s growth. The discussion addressed EFPP’s origins, its evolving role in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and its impact over the years. We hope you found this session particularly meaningful, as reconnecting with EFPP’s foundation fosters a sense of belonging to the community and inspires ongoing work.
Part of the meeting was dedicated to our Ukrainian colleagues, with a space for Working in times of War. Their presentations showed us a complex and vivid picture of what has been happening in Ukraine since the war broke out and the way they have coped with the challenges and the suffering with bravery and dignity.
There was a screening of the documentary Outsider. Freud , followed by a discussion with the filmmaker. This session offered a fresh perspective on Freud’s life and work, stimulating reflections on how psychoanalytic ideas continue to shape contemporary thought.
Furthermore, the delegates had the opportunity to provide updates on national activities and reflect on their experiences.

EFPP Delegates Meeting (continued)
The meeting normally concluded, as normal, with the First Meeting of the New Board, setting the stage for continued collaboration and future developments within EFPP.
EFPP Research-Award
The EFPP Research Award is given every second year at the biennial Delegates meeting . The winner of the 2025 EFPP Research Award was Simon Kempe M.A., a research assistant at the International Psychoanalytic University, Berlin and a psychotherapist in training at the Institut für Psychotherapie e.V. Berlin. Normally, the members of the Scientific committee chair the presentation of the award via zoom.
EFPP Book Series
2024 was a dynamic and productive year for the EFPP Book Series, marked by significant collaborations, new publications, and exciting upcoming projects.
Recent Publications
One of the major accomplishments of the year was the publication of the Italian colleagues' book translation, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Between Identity and Change , which was successfully released by Routledge in November 2024. This publication represents an important milestone in extending psychoanalytic psychotherapy literature across linguistic and cultural boundaries.
Upcoming Publications
Routledge has accepted two new book projects, reflecting the continued growth and recognition of the EFPP Book Series:
-
Group Analytic Psychotherapy in Europe: Assessing Current Status and Shaping Future Directions (title to be confirmed) – Edited by Anna Zajenkowska and Hanne Sophie-Dahl.
-
Couple and Family Metamorphosis: Exploring Inside and Outside Differences (title to be confirmed) – Edited by Cristina Calarasanu and the editorial committee, which includes Ayse Ozalkin, Lida Anagnostaki, Veronika Garms, and Malby Oliver.
Warsaw Book Project
Another significant initiative is the book associated with the Warsaw conference. The editorial committee overseeing this project consists of:
Cristina Calarasanu – Editor-in-Chief, Anna Zajenkowska, Michael Stasch. Agnieszka Hanbowska, Edyta Fira-Krempa. This project has garnered substantial interest, with 20 proposals received from various authors who participated in the conference. Additionally, papers from three main speakers have been submitted, further enriching the content of the forthcoming publication.

EFPP Four Section Conference
‘A Different World? Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Relatedness in Stormy Times’ ran for 3 days and ended on 29[th ] September 2024. The conference was organised by Poland in conjunction with the EFPP. The organisational co-chairs from the board were Michael Stasch and Uri Levin, working along with the local organising committee headed by Anna Zajenkowska.
The conference was a resounding success, fostering insightful discussions, meaningful exchanges, and the sharing of innovative approaches in psychotherapy.
Conference Highlights
-
We were thrilled to welcome participants from 30 countries, with an attendance of over 350 people.
-
The majority of attendees were from the private sector, with many specializing in adult therapy. Additionally, a significant number of professionals integrated at least three of the four therapy modalities: Adults, Groups, Child & Adolescent, and Couples & Families, in their work.
-
A large proportion of participants were dedicated to Adults and Groups, as well as Adults and Children & Adolescents, reflecting the growing interest in comprehensive psychoanalytic approaches.
The “Large group”
The “Large group” was formed in conjunction with the Help Ukraine project with Gila Ofer and Uri Levin as conductors. It facilitated a regular, virtual internet platform as a necessary moral support for our members in the affected country. It also allowed all other members to participate in (including members from Russia) and explore together the impact this was having.
Although attendance has declined since the pandemic, the Large Group has continued to provide a consistent virtual weekly space for many months, maintaining a stable number of regular participants.
The National Network
The national network committee consisting of the EFPP President Maria Eugenia Cid Rodriguez, Vice president, Cristina Calarasanu as well as the chair of the committee, Hansjorg Messner, oversees and coordinates the diverse national networks of the federation. In normal circumstances it is the specific national network that calls upon the committee to intervene to clarify or mediate about issues concerning the internal workings of the network and its multiple components. The focus of the committee in these instances is mainly to listen and gather an understanding of the issues in hand. In the past year we had several meetings with the Russian national network. The committee is proactive when new national networks are forged, and clarity of purpose, governance and cooperation within, as well as with the federation are

The National Network (continued)
established. Meetings with the networks in France, Greece and Kazakhstan have been fruitful, although meeting with the Kazakhstan network has been a challenge due to geography and time differences.
E-Journal
The EFPP e-Journal is a platform that allows all individuals, members of National Networks, regardless of their membership status in the EFPP, to publish articles on psychoanalytic psychotherapy in their preferred language. The e-Journal is published twice a year. For each of these two issues, there is a call for clinical, institutional, and educational papers on a wide range of topics so that readers, regardless of which section they belong to, can benefit from them in professional practice. The Editorial Board, have chosen the theme for the next issue: 'On Beginnings.' This theme reflects the new format of the e-journal, our own journey as beginners following in Gila Ofer's footsteps, and, above all, 'beginnings' in all their forms—clinical, institutional, and educational.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The accounts of The European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The Statement of Financial Activities shows how the Federation’s funds have been raised and applied during the year under report.
The Balance Sheet on 30[th] September 2024 discloses fixed assets of £1,433, investments of £24,847, monies with the banks of £52,261, other current assets of £25,439, and liabilities of £29,894.
Financial stability is vital if the Federation is to look forward with confidence to becoming even more effective in attaining its charitable objectives. The continued financial support from its members is crucial to the Federation in achieving this aim.
RESERVES
The Federation’s unrestricted funds on 30th September 2024 were £74,086, all being general funds. There is one designated fund, the purpose of which is to fund a biennial award given to authors of papers or books in the field of psychoanalytic psychotherapy that deal with a research issue or are the product of concrete research in the psychoanalytic psychotherapeutic field. There were no movements in the fund during the year and it had no opening or closing balance. Given the lack of voluntary income,

RESERVES (continued
the trustees believe that it is essential that the financial reserves be maintained at a level exceeding £60,000 to protect the
Federation’s ability to continue its work and to implement its plans. The charity exceeds this target, which the board considers to be satisfactory.

RESPONSIBILITIES IN RESPECT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The trustees of European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy are the members of the Executive Committee.
The trustees are required under the Charities Act 1993 to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Federation and of the surplus of income or excess of expenditure for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Federation will continue its activities.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Federation and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the applicable law and regulations. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Federation and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Maria Eugenia Cid Rodriguez, President of EFPP.

THE EUROPEAN FEDERATION FOR PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30[TH] SEPTEMBER 2024
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(e) Incoming resources (continued)
Incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is entitled to the income, its receipt is sufficiently certain, and its value can be measured reliably.
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is credited to incoming resources in the period for which it is received.
In common with many other charities of similar size and organisation, a proportion of The European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy’s income is derived from voluntary sources, which cannot be controlled fully until entered in the accounting records. The charity’s accounting procedures are intended to ensure that income received is promptly banked. Voluntary income is recorded when received by the administrator in London with the exception that certain donations are accounted for on an accruals basis when the intention to make the donation has been documented and formally notified.
(f) Subscriptions
Subscriptions are non-returnable and are accounted for an accruals basis, the income being recognised in the period to which it relates. Subscriptions that are deemed to be irrecoverable are written off.
(g) Other incoming resources
Publishing income, including royalties and advances, is accounted for on an accruals basis in respect of periods ending before the balance sheet date for which royalty statements have been received and otherwise on a cash receipts basis or when formally set off against publishing liabilities.
(h) Resources expended
As permitted by the Charities SORP, resources expended are analysed by their natural resources categories rather than by activity categories.
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs relating to the category.

The EFPP Book Series designated fund is no longer required as the book series is now in publication and EFPP has no further costs to bear. Consequently, the fund has been merged with general funds.
The biennial Research Award fund was inactive during the year and had no opening or closing balance.
