I would like to introduce The Japan Academic Association of Psycho-analytic Psychiatry. This society is an academic association whose theme is psychoanalytic psychiatry. This society was established in 2003 with Takayuki Kinugasa as the chairperson and currently, there are about 180 members. We hold academic conferences in various places every year and publish an academic journal. Also, from 2021, we have started applying for the qualification certification system.
 The characteristic of JAAPP is that we adopt a diagnostic method which combines DSM and ICD, which are cross-sectional symptom diagnoses, and a detailed investigation of the life history of individual patients from early childhood up to the time of consultation, which is a longitudinal diagnosis. We ask questions in the diagnostic interviews including what kind of deprivation experiences and trauma experiences the patient him/herself has, who his/her caretaker is, how the relationship with the caregiver is from early childhood to the present, and whether his/her family members have any deprivation experiences or trauma experiences. We diagnose patients from such a viewpoint and treat a wide range of patient groups mainly with psychoanalytic psychotherapy, while applying it by changing the technique and changing the treatment goal. The target patient groups include infants, children in puberty, adolescents with personality disorders, and we also provide consultation for liaisons, and school problems.
 Then I will explain the basic training for psychoanalytic psychotherapists, diagnostic methods and formulations, and the basics on layered-clothes syndrome.
