TRANSPORTATION:

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is about 7 miles away from the conference. While there are various shuttle buses available, a cab is also a good possibility.

Los Angeles does not have a very good public transportation system. Unless you will have a car available, we suggest that you stay close to the main place of the conference, i.e., the Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Institute. (Distance to the LAPSI is indicated if within walking distance.)

Those who are interested should contact Christopher Meyer at: woeswar@earthlink.net or Bettina Soestwohner at: bettinasos@earthlink.net
