The German Psychoanalytical Association (DPV) was founded in Berlin in 1950 with the aim of re-establishing Freudian psychoanalysis on a professional and scientific basis following the ideological and structural upheavals of the Nazi era. In 1951, it was unanimously recognized as a branch society of the IPA at the IPA Congress in Amsterdam.
