The Program
Committee is responsible for working with the incoming DSPP President
to develop the program for the upcoming year. The yearly topic is chosen by the
President. The program committee then reviews current and classic psychoanalytic
literature to identify readings that will be informative and relevant to the program
topics and speaker presentations, as well as stimulate discussion at our monthly meetings.
The committee structures a diverse program to meet the needs of our membership.
For additional membership information contact Skye Porter Moffitt, Ph.D. at 214-549-8783.

The Membership
Committee conducts the yearly membership drive, which includes various mailings and
promotional activities; receives and processes membership applications; produces the
yearly membership list, and delivers membership materials, such as the year's readings to
the members. The Chair of the Membership Committee is appointed each year by the
President, after which the Chair appoints members to the committee. Service on the
Membership Committee is a one-year term of obligation with the bulk of the work performed
during the spring and summer preceding the academic (DSPP program) year.

The Education
Committee is in charge of DSPP educational projects. In the past
this committee has conducted courses on selected topics that offered continuing education
credits. Recently the committee has been engaged in establishing a graduate-level
course in psychodynamic psychotherapy to be offered as an elective course through
Southwestern Medical School. The Chair of the Education Committee is appointed by
the President. The Chair then appoints other committee members. Membership is
for a one-year term of obligation, but the ongoing nature of the committee's projects has
led to membership generally lasting for several years.

The Arts
Committee serves both an aesthetic and social function within DSPP
as well as a community relations function. Its mission is to organize activities of
psychological interest in the spheres of the performing, literary, and studio arts. Some
of these activities are coordinated with galleries, museums, theaters, performing arts
organizations, and universities. Others draw on artistic talents of DSPP members. Included
in the Arts Committee activities is a monthly film group,
meeting in members’ homes, to view and discuss movies informally. We also
present a
Public Film Forum, followed by a panel discussion as a semi-annual event. All committee activities are open to DSPP members, significant
others, and friends. Public Film Forums are more widely publicized and
are open to the general public.
Additional
information is available on the Arts page.

information concerning the Arts Committee, call:Denise
Humphrey at 972-239-2490.

The
Community Relations Committee (CRC) coordinates DSPP activities with the
public-at-large and particular groups such as students, professional
organizations, and the media. The CRC works with other DSPP committees to
help implement their programs and activities, and it manages its own
programs such as the DSPP/Fairhill Scholarship Competition, development of
general brochures for DSPP, and the DSPP Web Site. Due to the number of
ongoing projects there are several opportunities for members to contribute
and additional member participation is welcome.

Community Relations Committee, call: Brandy Miller, Ph.D. at 214-536-7114 or email brandy_p_miller@yahoo.com

The editor of
the DSPP Bulletin has the overall responsibility for producing
the society's newsletter, published monthly during the academic year. The purpose of
the Bulletin is to publicize and review the programs of the
society, to announce upcoming events of professional interest, to describe the activities
of the officers and committees on the society's behalf, to recognize professional
achievements of members, and to report on events at the national level in the Division of
Psychoanalysis (39) of APA.
The Bulletin,
along with the the DSPP web site, provides a pipeline for the flow of information within
DSPP. The editor works with the Executive Committee, the President, the Program
Director, and the Committee Chairs to keep the members informed about the workings of
DSPP.
The
newsletter includes announcements of psychoanalytically oriented professional activities
free of charge and takes no paid advertising.
For submissions or
information concerning the DSPP Bulletin, call Brandy Miller, Ph.D.
