Dear all:
Back from the holidays, which we hope were good for you, both because of the rest and the enjoyment, we are again with all of you to start working together. This Board that wants to emphasize psychotherapeutic care at the public system level, thought of inviting Dr. Palacio to give the inaugural Thursday conference, and he accepted to open the series. From his professorship of child-adolescent psychiatry in Geneva, Dr. Palacio has pioneered the application of psychoanalysis in the public health system.
We wait for all of you on Thursday, October 14, in the big room of the Ateneu Barcelonès, Canuda 6, a luxurious conference for a luxurious palace, the palace of the Savassola family.
Our excitement for this new academic year is tainted with pain and sadness for the loss of Dr. Meltzer this month of August. His memory and everything we learned from him will always be with us. We are sorry for his death and we regret having to give you this news.

Donald Meltzer: in memoriam
He was 82 years old when he died in Oxford (England), in the early morning of August 13.
He was very linked to the city of Barcelona trough the different Psychoanalytic Associations, and his ideas are fundamental in the training of many psychoanalysis professionals. In our institution we have been giving for years seminars and classes devoted to his work.
It is difficult to talk about Donald Meltzer given that his death is so recent. But we will always have his genius, his way of understanding psychoanalysis; his creativity, sincerity and loyalty are parallel to his love for truth and freedom.
His work is very well known among us and it belongs to the greater history of Psychoanalysis. His contributions are many, but above all his vital form of understanding the mind as a significant whole which has allowed great progress in psychoanalysis by pushing aside the anatomic view, in fragments, of the mind; Meltzer puts elements together and makes them fit in their functional place.
