Dear Mr Miller
I write for you from Iran, a Third world country. I think it is not a Third world country, it is even worse according to my experiences. My field in university was management. I go to classes of Freudian association for knowing Freud and Lacan and psychoanalysis since 4 years ago. After that my relatives are telling me: “Give us consult”!!! Iranian society do not know any thing about differentiating of psychoanalysis from psychology, psychiatry and consulting. They also do not know how a person become a psychoanalyst. In movies and in psychiatric clinic you see name of psychoanalyst are being used for psychologist or psychiatrist!!! Some Iranian people instead appreciate Dr Kadivar, try to eliminate her. Unfortunately here is Iran.Sincerely Yours,

Dear Mr. Miller

As a member of Freudian association it is necessary to complete my second letter. in our country everybody including, Psychologist, Psychiatrist says” I’m a Psychoanalyst”. She/he talks about Psychoanalysis and Freud in media, TV, radio, newspaper. Mr. Sanati and Ms. Homayounpour claim to be Psychoanalyst. They have stolen Dr.Kadivar’s literature and Psychoanalysis course materials which has been held before. They hold meetings and congresses, Psychoanalytical literary criticism.

They confuse the border between Psychoanalysis and Psychology and Psychiatry. They abuse Freud’s name and Psychoanalysis for their own personal interests. While Dr.Kadivar’s efforts in the advancement of Psychoanalysis is very appreciable. But aims of Sanati and Homayounpour are obstruct to her activity.

Although, Dr. Kadivar taught us Freud expelled Psychoanalysis from medical field. Sanati and Homayounpour’s activities made the deputy of Health Ministry to think that Psychoanalysis is as a sub branch of Psychiatry and Psychoanalytic training is in “specialty and fellowship of psychiatry”. They want Freud without training Freud. They think Freud’s sexuality means a sex behavior.

They propagandize unrestraint and the highest human products such as religion, philosophy and art are made worthless under the name of Freud and Psychoanalysis.
As a result of each kind of their activity a resistance has been made against Psychoanalysis in society. I think they haven’t read any article from Freud because they talk about the effects of good fat and bad fat in Psychoanalysis.

With best regards

Dear Mr.Miller,

It would be a great honor to write you once more about what has been done by Dr.Kadivar and I know I am writing not just for you -as I am sure you are fully aware- but also for those who have more than 150 members in their association, those who learnt to be successful through the shortest time by holding congresses and inviting foreign guests to look unique, important and resourceful. These are what everyone who lives in a developing country – where there is severe lack of awareness – needs to be shown in order to trust.
I start with my experience during those days as a new member attending the Freudian association sections. I remember some ex-members of Freudian association and Dr.Kadivar’s students took some course materials and never returned it and everyone was reminding it as a big regret. At the Freudian association everything was under a restricted discipline and full transparency. All members were training to set a new method of communicating in order to not let any miss understanding strike the solidarity and aims of the association. No one could rest on his/her achievements and slow the acceleration in implementation. It was a lot of pressure on both Dr.Kadivar as a head and members and it took a long time to provide the “statue” which is easily accessible for everyone on the Freudian association website.
Now, the time passed and I see those ex-members and students are making money from the stolen course materials and continue with adding what they would like to add and ruin Dr.Kadivar and members achievements .It is additional burden on Dr.Kadivar and the Freudian association members to not let the robbers take advantage of what they believe they know about Freud and Psychoanalysis. Now, I see although the Freudian association members are not “150 persons”, they know how to work together strongly. They are so strong to work against many years abuse when there was no preserver of Freud, Lacan and Psychoanalysis achievements. When there was no Freudian association of Iran.

Sincerely Yours,

Dear Mr. Miller,
I would like to take this opportunity and add some other points regarding the “Pivot of Sanati- Homayounpoor” that provides a variety of misleading issues in “psychoanalysis” in Iran and gain a lot out of Iran.
1- Sanati is such a trickster that in past 31 years has been telling that he is a psychiatrist and has a fellowship in psychotherapy. But it is just the beginning: based on these false degrees he claimed that he is a “psychoanalyst”. And it is just after disclosure of “Freudian Association” that people are paying a little attention to it, while the in charge people who say something, are just denying the fact and supporting him.
2- Since then, many people came to Q & A part of our website and said different things:
– You are disrespecting an old painstaking person.
– We know it but let’s forget about it and continue with lessons (of Dr. Kadivar) on your website.
– This place is just a place for cheap discussions, backbiting and disgracing others while there are more important issues in the world.
– Why don’t you publish any lesson in French from Dr. Kadivar?
– We know that he is not a holder of psychiatric degree but what’s the use of revealing this fact? There are several people who have done the same and this one won’t be the last.
3- Some people were named “psychoanalysts” by Sanati himself and analyzing (!) clients as Sanati does, or they are on the other side of the pivot; they are followers of Homayounpoor or her patients and etc. So for the sake of their trade (mental trade) and business, they have to keep being quiet but our responsibility is different, as the president of our association says: “…We are an NGO that has come (for it) that anywhere we think (if) an issue in this country was in another form would be better, (we) would do that. [1]
4-They start with denying his false degree and end with denying the fact that he is not a psychoanalyst and abusing people by this title; as this title is very tempting in Iran not only for psychotherapists but also for patients:
– People in our country think that the university degree in psyche-related fields definitely leads one to be a “psychoanalyst”. No training is talked about.
– In Iran when you tell somebody I studied psychiatry, psychology or psychotherapy they say: “so you are a psychoanalyst.”
– When you say I have a problem in my life or whatever, they say: “You should go to a psychoanalyst.” And who describes the definition of psychoanalyst?
– It looks like a market of psychoanalyst and everyone is trying to be more famous and wealthier and in this mixture, this is the aim of psychoanalysis that is being hurt first. (Such as what Freud mentions in the article: “wild psychoanalysis”- 1910)
– Here anything that has the part “psych” is taken the same as “psychoanalysis” and this is not between common people, even (or better to say firstly) between university educated persons in such fields: they easily and with no limitation pretend that they are psychoanalysts, that they can interpret people’s dreams and what they give to their patients is a mixture of what university has given to them along with their own misunderstandings.
5- The problem gets worse when even the people who are in charge say so: the vice- chancellor of Education of Ministry of Health of Iran said that: “Psychoanalytic course is a part of specialty and fellowship programs of psychiatry.” [2]
Here are some points:
– This is said from Ministry of Health, a section of government that is supposed to be able to differentiate differences between fields that their names start with “psyche”.
– This is the Deputy Minister of “Education” who said it, who is in charge of changing courses plans.
– He has reduced psychoanalysis to just a “course”.
– This is psychiatry which is being fed to be bigger and bigger. Why then? At what cost?
You can see how happy and shocked we were hearing: “… Ministry of Health and members of parliament of Belgium recognized the being special of the discipline of psychoanalysis.” [3]
6- People in Iran know it well that if you want to be a mystic (in Persian: A’ref) or pass the steps in such way, you should have a guide who has passed this long and difficult path himself to become a guide. People know it for this case, but when it comes to psychoanalysis they forget about the longitude of the way and the efforts one should make. I wonder if it is because of the effects of wild psychoanalysis or something else.
7- The idea that by going to a “psychoanalyst” you’ll become a “psychoanalyst” is what the “Pivot of Sanati- Homayounpoor” is developing and publicizing; “So how come we have about 150 members in Tehran and Mashhad, and a continuous and insistence desire for new members to join?” [4] and continued ““Desire” for Psychoanalysis” but we see “greed [5] for new members not for a real “psychoanalysis”” .Only after 20 years effort of Dr. Kadivar, the president of 2 associations; “Association of Communication with WAP” and “Freudian Association” (since 2007) are there only 4 students of Dr. Kadivar who are allowed to do the preliminary “psychoanalysis”, just in her office and nowhere else, while Homayounpoor says that her group has more than 150 members (and most of them are analysts!), just in 7 years?! Whereas she is an about 35 year old “young woman” (as she refers to herself in The Paradox Called Iran) [6] and wasn’t here continuously for 7 years?! Unbelievable! This is the difference between the real “psychoanalysis” and “wild psychoanalysis”.
No one asks the possibility of it! What is the difference between this “Freudian Association” and “Freudian Group of Tehran”. (Even their name is stolen from Freudian Association).
Freudian association is a registered NGO (non-governmental organization). 7 years ago, regarding the establishment of an NGO, Dr. Kadivar told us that “… psychoanalysis should pass among the law…” [7] While Homayounpoor says: ” we do not have any official registration with the Iranian government, neither are we able to offer our students and candidates any sort of certificates or diplomas, as we are not associated with any Iranian University.
We are also not recognized by any International associations officially” and continued “Maybe it has to do with an internal sense of legitimacy of the group, after all is this not what we say about the position of the psychoanalyst that when all is said and done, it is an internal position one must find within oneself in order to become a psychoanalyst. In short the success of the group is about “Desire” for Psychoanalysis.”
Such a big gap! Homayounpoor looks at the words and say them but these words are not coming from her inside.
8- For their so-called first congress they gathered people from Mashhad [8] and brought them to Tehran for “psychoanalysis” week of Iran (they called it to October 11-17, 2014). They began with the first congress (Sanati was the Congress President and Co-Chair of Scientific Committee) then to “Geographies of Psychoanalysis/Encounters Between Cultures” (by Presidency of Homayounpoor).
They spent about 60 million Tomans for the first congress from public money. The costs of the other one were paid by Homayounpoor, except for the place of congress which was a governmental place so again from public money. This is when in Freud museum she said that “the Iranian government, called it the enemy of state-psychoanalysis- which I think they are right (people laughing aloud) and I totally agree.” [9]
This association should struggle on, in 2 sides at the same time: one with development of wild psychoanalysis and another one informing people about what is happening and making them sensitive. (And we, members of Freudian association, except our president, are people who have not yet finished our psychoanalysis, so it makes this struggle even more complicated)
9- The guests of IPA are so whimsical; they don’t ask what the reason is for such a big party. Or they don’t think that it is an investment for Homayounpoor? Spend this much money to receive what? And how could this “young woman” talk about this many followers? Are IPA members so inexperienced that accept whatever Homayounpoor says?!
And we know that the poster of this congress was published nowhere in Iran, while it had a Persian version at IPA website [10]. The first public announcement was in their first congress. What are they doing then?
10- Maybe people who cut of the microphone on us while talking in the first congress, pretended not to hear our voice, threatened us and attacked us, were included in “150 members” of that group.
I remembered a question: why didn’t they report about us to police? They could call the police: ” some people are in our congress and asking something aloud and don’t let us have the closing ceremony”. They knew that we were right. They knew that we would repeat our question in presence of police that: “Dr. Sanati! Where is faculty of psychiatrists of England University? (Where he claimed that he received his degree from)” Based on this first lie, he made the second lie: “being psychoanalyst” (although they have nothing to do with each other) and now he has to prove them both.
Some of these 150 people are those who came out of the congress saloon (Geographies of Psychoanalysis) like a huge flood to inhibit us from attending the congress, pushed us and called us names. At that time we were about 9 and they were about 20 or more!
Such a great support! From 2 heads of “Pivot of Sanati- Homayounpoor”
But honestly, no matter how much I count, I can’t reach this “150” that she mentioned!
This is years that you know about the number and names of people register in classes of Dr. Kadivar (it is told to us when we register for the first time) but about this group (let me emphasis: a group not a registered non- governmental organization) you can find no information about, nowhere on the net. And this is what she says in that congress: “We do not have any official registration with the Iranian government… So how come we have about 150 members in Tehran and Mashhad, and a continuous and insistence desire for new members to join?” She talks about ” desire for new members to join” while Dr. Kadivar talks about “…desire to psychoanalyst, then desire to unconscious and word…” [11]
The name of their group is said by Homayounpoor or when somebody wants to talk about her: “…She trains and supervises the psychoanalysts of the Freudian Group of Tehran and is Professor of Psychology at Shahid Besheti University Tehran.” [12](She was a professor in Shahid Beheshti University Tehran, just for one semester, but is still accrediting herself by name of that university. Just like the place of first congress they mentioned wrongly in the first email they sent to you.)
11- This is strange that Homayounpoor wrote a book ” Doing Psychoanalysis in Tehran” (September 2012) while she has lived in Iran not continuously just for about 4 or 5 years (at that time) and stranger thing is that a movie director has written the foreword on her book (Abbas Kiarostami) not a “psychoanalyst”, this director was the one who mentioned to be the spokesman of opening ceremony for Geographies of Psychoanalysis. He didn’t come but an actor appeared instead.
12- Ghourkhane chi who was referred to as Scientific Committee of Geographies of Psychoanalysis, was managing director of our association in 2008 and was expelled from association in 2008 and after a while we found that in the publication of psychology (for Razi Hospital) not only has he misused the lessons of Dr. Kadivar [13] but also introduced 5 of analysts of Iran (!) in this order:1- Homayounpoor, 2- Dr. Kadivar, 5- Sanati . He was analyzed by Dr. Kadivar for about 2 years and half but now for the sake of greed and other things everything was changed easily.
You have been in the middle of the problems they made for Dr. Kadivar in 2013. “Pivot of Sanati- Homayounpoor” wanted to eliminate her, physically, let alone the things that are not seen by eye, such as her efforts, her lessons, real analysis in the end and appropriate it to their benefit. They deceit the real analysis from people who come to this “door” [14] with difficulty.
While writing these lines, I can’t help thinking “If Dr. Kadivar hadn’t been here, what would have I been doing now?”In the end let me express how grateful I am for writing to you one more time.
Yours faithfully

Dear Mr Miller
I have to explain more about psychoanalysis in Iran. Unfortunately, in Iran there is not any difference between psychology, psychiatry and psychoanalysis because some psychologists and psychiatrists want to mix up these scope of science with each other in order to earn more money and more fame. In Iran psychiatrists and psychologists without any training in psychoanalysis introduce him/herself as psychoanalyst. Organizer of first psychoanalysis congress which held in October in Iran, was Iranian scientific association of psychiatrists. We ask ourselves what is relation between Iranian scientific association of psychiatrists and psychoanalysis?! Why psychiatrists allow themselves to hold first psychoanalysis congress?! Psychologists and psychiatrists try to pre-empt psychoanalysis. The only reason that cause them to call themselves as psychoanalyst, is visiting clients in scope of psyche. We as Freudian association try to introduce psychoanalysis as a science that is different from psychology and psychiatry. These psychiatrists and psychologists who call themselves psychoanalyst, are supported by some universities and some principals for example vice chancellor of health ministry, Dr Ziaee . Dr Ziaee said in 3 months ago: “psychoanalysis is part of psychiatric courses in specialty and fellowship of psychiatry”. Dr ziaee ‘s speech was told for defending from fellowship of psychotherapy for psychiatrists. Psychiatrists by Dr Sanati ‘s leadership tried to develop fellowship of psychoanalysis for psychiatrists in Tehran university of Medical sciences but Ministry of health did not accept this fellowship, then psychiatrists by leadership of Dr Sanati tried to develop fellowship of psychotherapy. Dr Sanati is a liar person who does not have any degree in psychiatry. Near 30 years he has introduced himself as a psychiatrist. Freudian association detected that Dr Sanati does not have any degree. Also he has cliamed that he has fellowship of psychotherapy but he does not have any degree in psychotherapy. He introduce himself as a psychoanalyst because of being psychiatrist and psychotherapist. Unfortunately, ministry of health accepted fellowship of psychotherapy while Dr Sanati does not have any diploma in psychiatry and does not have any degree in psychotherapy. Dr Sanati and his friends try to teach psychoanalysis in fellowship of psychotherapy!!! They try to mix psychoanalysis with psychiatry and psychotherapy.
Unfortunately, we are back from development of psychoanalysis in the world. We struggle here for primary rules such as for becoming psychoanalyst, you have to be analyzed by a real psychoanalyst. Or being psychiatrist, psychologist and psychotherapist in not reason for being psychoanalyst.Sincerely yours

Dear Mr Miller
I have to explain more about Mrs Homayounpour who is mentioned in Roxane’s email to you. Mrs Homayounour is one between a lot of persons who introduce him/herself as psychoanalyst in Iran. She has Psyd degree (not Phd degree) in psychoanalysis from a school with very low grade which is not even approved by IPA.
http://www.bgsp.edu/
This school has received rating of 15 between 15 training school and university.
http://www.studentsreview.com/alumni.php3?SH=BGSP&ST=MA
She invented Telephone psychoanalysis !!! and Skype (internet) psychoanalysis !!! She founded a group named Freudian group of Tehran. She claims that this group has 150 members from 7 years ago until now!!! Also these members analyze people by telephone . We have to call her, founder of Telephone psychoanalysis in Iran Instead of founder of Freudian group of Tehran! We say to ourselves how she could analyze 150 persons in 7 years?! We speak about psychoanalysis not cooking! But for her psychoanalysis is like cooking!
In one of her speech in Freud Museum in London (21 March 2013), she said Dr Kadivar had some mental health difficulty and French psychoanalysts like Jacques-Alain Miller tried to make this event as public and political but it is not good for psychoanalysis in Iran!!! In this speech, she herself said Islamic Republic of Iran called psychoanalysis as enemy and I agree with them!
You see who try to make psychoanalysis in Iran, as political?!
http://www.podcast.de/episode/211546338/Doing%2BPsychoanalysis%2Bin%2BTehran/
She tried for Dr kadiavr’s hospitalization in Iran, We know that her trainees and her friends in Hospital tried to maintain Dr Kadivar in hospital. One of her main friends is Rasul Ghorkhanechi who has been fired from our association. After getting fired, he has held psychoanalysis classes by texts of Freudian association like Dr Kadivar’s texts. We sued him and he was condemned from court because of plagiarism.
These people who are liar, introduce themselves as psychoanalyst in Iran. Also as I said before, we face with a lot of psychologists and psychiatrists and psychotherapist who introduce themselves as psychoanalysts. None of them are not trained and are not analyzed by real Psychoanalyst. They try to introduce psychoanalysis as an approach in mental health treatment in Psychiatry and psychology. They do not differentiate between psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. They say if we are psychotherapist, then we also are psychoanalyst !!!Sincerely yours

Dear Mr. Miller
I am honored to have the opportunity to write you again. I would like you to know parts of difficulties about psychoanalysis in Iran.Here, deputy minister of health says: “psychoanalysis is a part of psychiatry”1 therefore, Health Department is responsible for it! In addition, the head of the Psychology and Counseling Organization say:” psychoanalysis is a form of psychotherapies”2 and as a result Psychology and Counseling Organization is the guardian of psychoanalysis! Therefore, here, almost every one holding a degree in psychiatry or psychology is supposed to be allowed to practice psychoanalysis!Here, a general practitioner, Dr.Sanati, has been practicing as a psychiatrist in one of the oldest psychiatric hospital, Roozbeh, in Iran. He has inaccurately described himself as a psychoanalyst and a representative of psychoanalysis and visited patients in his private office.The above-mentioned general practitioner, Dr.Sanati, holds a congress in the name of PSYCHOANALYSIS, with assistance of Iranian Psychiatry Association. In that congress the associate principle of the University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences says:” this is my pleasure to be with the best psychoanalysts of Iran.”! While Dr. Kadivar is the only psychoanalyst in Iran!Here, when the Freudian Association objects that the mentioned general practitioner, Dr.Sanati, is not a psychoanalyst, the head of Roozbeh hospital and Iranian Psychiatry Association threaten Freudian Association with Legal complaint!Here, people are not aware of the difference between a psychoanalyst, psychiatrist and a psychologist. Moreover, there is a group of experts who recognize this difference and are not going to let people know about the difference since they gain benefit from this ignorance.They intend to eliminate Dr. Kadivar and Freudian Association so that they can take advantage of psychoanalysis the same as before and we are here to protect psychoanalysis.Yours sincerely

Dear Dr.Miller,
Have you ever been in Iran? How do you think about Iran? I envisage you have never been here and because of your relation with Dr. Mitra Kadivar you are so optimist, fortunately. I don’t like to negate your point of view about here, I just want to give you some information to indicate Iranian concepts about psychoanalysis. Actually, I am educated in clinical psychology (MA), I was in Europe and I have a comparative point of view about living in Iran and there. So, let me to explain about psychoanalysis concepts and Freud position in Iran.
I remember that one day Dr. Mitra Kadivar told us: “the dominant discourse in Iran universities is different from other places”. She continued that instead of the world current discourse, the Hysteric discourse is dominant here. I could not understand the exact meaning of these words yet; but I can say that you may find unbelievable issues in academic societies here, which many of them made obstacles against of science development. You are living in Europe, the meaning of concepts like rule, religion, science, and education in my home land is different from yours’. As my experiences, the lignite of rule obeying and academic education is dominant here. But, it is not as equal as anarchy or complete disorder. It is lawlessness in some way, which is mixed by optional interpretations from the rules or even law. You may ask who made such interpretations? The answer is: everybody who has no sense of moral responsibility. It is not important to have an academic high ranking or not, or having official work status/degree or not. Just, the main supporters have to be in their background. You will ask: who are supporters? The answer is: Every perfunctory organization or every cursory powerful body in official position. Moreover, the religion believers with under enough education about psychology or psychoanalytic knowledge can fall into these charlatans trap. The “wild psychoanalysts” attribute their own lampooning propaganda to the Freud/Lacan and because of religious atmosphere in Iran society, such things arise hard reactions that can be an obstacle against of psychoanalytic science. You may think that it is ridiculous! If there were true, how could Dr. Kadivar stablish Freudian association there? For the answer I just mention a term of Dr. Kadivar which I remember: “we have to stablish our association exactly through the way of law/rule”. And, not through the optional interpretations from the rule/law.
In two past letters, I mentioned about “wild psychoanalysts” like Mohamad Sanati, Gohar Homaionpour, Roxane Irani or Esmat Torkghashghaei, and so on. This term (wild psychoanalysts) is the best descriptive attribution for what they are doing now. As they say, being normal with being educated in psychiatry or psychology is enough condition for being psychoanalyst. No matter, if someone with such background never has been under psychoanalytic training or even never studied in official international authority in psychoanalysis. Ridiculously, such persons can study in the Iran universities and they can attempt to psychological therapies in the private offices or mental hospitals (poor that patients in such asylums). These swindlers named their own claptraps as a psychoanalytic approach; take possession of Dr. Kadivar achievements and our Freudian association efforts with no shame; and present them as their own jobs to the others. In Iran situation, they can translate psychoanalytic or Freudian/Lacanian texts with no responding; or even any knowledge about technical words. Not only they are oppressing to psychoanalytic texts to misuse, but also they stole articles which were introduced and translated by our association. And, they pretend them as their own efforts result!! Unfortunately, I could not find any label better than “wild psychoanalysts”, for these charlatanism.

Dear Mr. Miller,
It was my duty to write you again about the situation of Psychoanalysis and Freudian Association in Iran!
Here every person who studied Psychotherapy, Psychology or Psychiatry can call her/himself Psychoanalyst! There is no rule to stop them “yet”. These psychoanalysts, analyze their patients by phone or Skype! They could be everywhere, I mean psychoanalyst here in Tehran and the analyzer in another city!! Or they held congress with Public funds with the name of psychoanalysis; and in that congress, Mr. Horst Kaechele asked: was Freud a Freudian? And he answered: No. Then the audience laughed!
These are just two samples of their activities.
The Deputy Minister of Health doesn’t know the different between psychoanalysis and other psyche sciences! You can guess when the managers don’t know anything; many many of people don’t know either! And these psychoanalysts (like Mr. Sanati and Ms. Homayounpoor) do whatever they like!
With best regards,

Dear Mr. Miller
As a member of Freudian association, I am honored to write you again about these two emails which ‘someone’ has sent you.
It seems that we- you in France and us in Iran- live in two different worlds as one of the articles in our site says: ‘A third world country is a third world country’. Some things happen here that seem not to be possible to happen in other places of the world. Let me explain:
– In our country it is a false but common idea that if someone is psychiatrist or psychologist, he/she can automatically be a psychoanalyst! It may be too strange to you but it is really so. Sanati depends on this common idea when he claims to be an analyst. People like Sanati try to encourage this idea to prevent society of knowing about real training in psychoanalysis. Vice-chancellor for education (ministry of health) recently said in an interview: ‘Psychoanalysis course is a part of specialty and fellowship in psychiatry’! You know, as Dr. Kadivar said more than 8 years ago even educated people know nothing about real psychoanalysis. Sanati for 30 years has claimed that he has fellowship of psychotherapy and based on it he approved himself as an analyst, and not just an analyst but also ‘a training analyst’ as he trained! a large body of ‘analysts’ in past 30 years which make our country very proud of being number one – besides air pollution – in the number of ‘wild psychoanalysts’ (as Freud said more than 100 years ago) we have which really deserves to be registered in Guinness! We even heard that a known person involved in the ‘case of Dr. Kadivar’ showed his ‘card’ to someone as a document of being an analyst trained by Mohammad Sanati!
– When association of psychiatrists (Iranian IPA!!!) gained a fellowship in psychotherapy from the Ministry of Health and Hygiene, they immediately hold the ‘1st congress of psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy in Iran’ even before the students have the opportunity to sit in the first session of the classes! Why they were so in hurry?
– Gohar Homayounpour came to Iran around 6 years ago, she claimed in the congress of ‘Geographies of Psychoanalysis’ that she has trained ‘150’ analysts in Freudian Group of Tehran! You see? No one ask him/herself that how it can be possible? When you know that Dr. Kadivar has been working in Iran for more than 20 years and there are just ‘4’ students and analysands of her who are permitted to work under supervision of Dr. Kadivar in Africa Psychoanalytic Center, you cannot help your astonishment! Just compare numbers: 4 versus 150! This is what we call ‘Wild Psychoanalysis’. Many people (audience) who attended the two congresses hold by Sanati and Homayounpour were introduced as ‘analysts’ to Iranian society by Sanati and Homayounpour. As you can see this is all the matter of greed! As someone unrelated to Freudian Association told in Facebook: They all have occupied many courses in universities. This is their Mafia.
– More over Freudian Association is the only registered organization for psychoanalysis in Iran while Freudian Group of Tehran was not be able to be officially registered in Iran and Homayounpour claims that it has internal legitimacy! She said in ‘her’ congress (it is available on IPA site):
‘Now, Let me take this opportunity to provide a short summary of the Freudian group of Tehran, where we do not have any official registration with the Iranian government, neither are we able to offer our students and candidates any sort of certificates or diplomas, as we are not associated with any Iranian University. We are also not recognized by any International associations officially. So how come we have about 150 members in Tehran and Mashhad, and a continuous and insistence desire for new members to join? Maybe it has to do with an internal sense of legitimacy of the group, after all is this not what we say about the position of the psychoanalyst that when all is said and done, it is an internal position one must find within oneself in order to become a psychoanalyst. In short the success of the group is about “Desire” for Psychoanalysis.’You see? They even distort words such as ‘desire’! Of course there are some good questions: how could Homayounpour have known about such a thing as ‘desire’ if it was not for the work of Dr. Kadivar for 20 years in Iran? Is these things taught in VGSP Inc in USA where Homayounpour studied? Thanks to stolen lessons and CDs of Dr. Kadivar classes, Ms. Homayounpour knows about ‘desire’ today!
– What Sanati and Homayounpour do is registered to psychoanalysis. Sanati marries his ‘analysand’, Homayounpour analyzes people by telephone for 3 months and let them analyze people and we hear bad news every day about what these ‘wild psychoanalysts’ do as psychoanalysis, let me just name some of them: sexual abuse of clients, letting themselves to have sexual relationship with anybody they like just because it makes them ‘happy’, hitting and insulting people (members of Freudian association) in a psychoanalytical congress! (Homayounpour did it), telling big lies (both Sanati and Homayounpour), plagiarism (again Homayounpour did it), registering Freud to themselves (Sanati and Homayounpour) and trying to omit Dr. Kadivar from Earth (again both Sanati and Homayounpour).
– In cities like Mashhad and Isfahan besides Tehran, there are people who have been analyzed by telephone by Homayounpour or Siamak Movahedi or other related persons and call themselves psychoanalyst after being analyzed ‘telephonically’ for ‘3 months’ and the first thing they do is to buy a coach to prove that they are real analyst! One wonders that why a person should pass the hard way of personal analysis when he/she can become an analyst just by buying a coach?!

Now you can see how hard we should work to combat such greed that you know is very epidemic.
Thank you for your kind consideration.

Yours Sincerely and with Great Respect

Dear Dr. Miller,
When I read the letter of Roxane Irani, I was wandered for similarities in between Gohar Homaionpour, Dr. Mohamad Sanati, Esmat Torkghashghaei and Roxane Irani. Thanks the God that he created and chooses our Freudian association opponents (wild psychoanalysts) from forgetful fabricators*. As Torkghashghaei mentioned in the following web sites address, she is a psychoanalyst from the French!!http://tebagahi.com/15/advertisementpocketimage_show/270/info.html
http://www.mamasani.com
http://www.raahenoo.com

She needs to remind your nationality for herself. And she has to review the locality of the WAP, École de la Cause freudienne, NLS, Euro Federation of psychoanalysis, Uforca and the Lacan Quotidien every time. In addition, she cannot stablish relation between Dr. Sanatai and Homaionpour educational certificates which are coming into questions and her own claims for being psychoanalyst. Fortunately, obtuseness is not an obstacle for being wild psychoanalyst!!
Farther more, Roxane Irani’s false alarms about sexual relations outside the marriage contract, “Acid culture” and recent violence events in Iran, vs Gohar and her idea about our association and their nagging about everything are not weird and strange for such wild psychoanalysts. Roxane can have a long discussion with Gohar Homayonpor about such issues. They can have a lot of cooperation, especially. If they don’t know each other, please say someone to introduce them.
Dr. Miller! What would happen if you and Julia Kristeva supported Gohar, Roxane and Esmat Torkeghashghaei instead of Dr. Kadivar?! As Roxane mentioned, you should be careful about “under- achievers”, people with frustrations and persons who have problem with “Mitra” sleeping.
Finally, decency claimants who are suffering from vulgar mockeries and sordid accusations, having some irrational options to you: select an Iranian translator (among this wild psychoanalysts), close the Pandora ’s Box to prevent the chain of irrelevant events, recognize the wild psychoanalysts officially as Dr. Kadivar colleagues, or at least give them a credit to decency wins! Please forgive their faults. They are not representative of Iranian population.With the best regards,
Soodeh Sahraei,
The Freudian association member

Dear Mr.Miller
I’m honored for writing letter to you for second time
Which made me to wrote this letter, was second letter of an unknown person and maybe he/she was from a group of people in website of Freudian association were called “mental businessmen”.
They truly mentioned that the situation was unsuitable. The situation was very unsuitable, for people who made swamp for their own and were involved in that, and any action were done by them, had an unfavorable result.
It was mentioned in this letter that in Freudian association website, they were accused to unauthorized and unethical actions against Islamic Republic of Iran, while the mentioned issues in Freudian association’s website were: first, the question considered by Mrs. Homayounpoor “whether Psychoanalysis is possible in Iran?”, and the other was marrying of Mr. San’ati with his Analyses, in addition to some unethical recommendations of wild psychoanalysts to their patients.
Freudian association, is acting according to it’s statute which means “All activities of association are non- political, non-profit, and non-governmental and activity scope of our association is cultural , and association will acting by full compliance with laws of Islamic Republic of Iran and this statute”(1) and considering of other issues which their trustee were specified, is outside of goals and responsibilities of association. They considered association as their own, introduced in any irrelevant issue specially psychoanalysis and take into account others as their own, and suppose that if any person does a work for us, we must ignore his/her wrong doings, as which were mentioned about Mrs Kristeva by them.
Freudian association of Islamic Republic of Iran took license of activity from ministry, and all emails that were annoyed them sent to authorities for clarifying the event that happened for Dr. Kadivar and some emails about Mr. San’ati , and they are informed in all things and after along from send of these emails, vice president in women affairs, in her speech, noted about isolation of Psychoanalysis from Psychology (2). They declare that efforts of Dr. Kadivar in these years are fruitless, while in this short session after launch the website of Freudian association, some of colleagues and collaborators removed the psychoanalyst title from their name, and were satisfied about what they were. And this was really thing which they were afraid of.
These wild psychoanalysts who claim that they’re psychotherapist with theft notes of Dr. Kadivar, and deceive others about being psychotherapist in three months, surely can’t and don’t want to understand long time and hard efforts which are necessary for being psychoanalyst; and this matter is completely in contrast to beneficial goals of them.
Previously, they accused Freudian association to publishing contemptuous contents, making challenge and …(3), and if they had a proof about Freudian association and Dr. Kadiver, they took action in country. They were campaigned already for proving their lies, and if they were honest they took action up to now. And another point to be point out is that although they were seemed not to be familiar with decency, but correctly mentioned that winning is with decency, as the Freudian association won to their lies with decency.Yours sincerely

Dear Mr. Miller,

I am writing concerning the letterpublished on 1st December in Freudian Association’s website,[1]. She or he (Hisidentity is not known!) have writed: “propagande et complotcontre le gouvernementislamique! et du genre moral, accusant les personnes en question d’avoir des relations sexuelles en dehors du contrat du mariage; les deux genres d’accusationsétantpassibles de peine de mort, parfois par lapidation.” I would like to mention some points about this sentence:
1. Under no circumstance, nobody in Freudian Association’s website have said “conspiracy against the Islamic government”, we just quoted from goharHomayounpour which said in Freud Museum: “the Iranian government, called it the enemy of state-psychoanalysis- which I think they are right (people laughing aloud) and I totally agree.” This is a black picture of Iran and a big lie. You can find it in following link (Fifty-seven minutes):
http://www.podcast.de/episode/211546338/Doing%2BPsychoanalysis%2Bin%2BTehran/
Homayounpourattempts to relate campaign of “Mitra 2013″ to political issues. Therefore, she can release from responsibility of blackwashing in Freud Musem!!!2. In section of “answer to questions” of website, individuals have commented their experiences and knowledge about “wild Psychoanalysis”. For instance, one person has said: “a wild Psychoanalist believes as happiness is significant, you can do everything to be happy, even if it happened by relation with your husband’s friend!” it is also seen a group of people have stated that wild psychonalyste encourage them to have intercourse with them as therapy!!!
In connection with “sur le site de Kadivar non seulementaucuneréactionmais des incitations à “LAVER” “le visage” de ceux qui ne luiplaisent pas par “L’ACIDE de la culture”.” I would like to point out an unknown person on 27th Decembere (exactly 5 days before Roxane had sent an email for you) had wrote in the section of “answer to questions” of website.
However, previously we received messages that they were trying to motivate us to talk about Acid instead of Sana’ti’s certificate, as they believe that it is a small issue and we have to spend our time to more significant problem such as Acid. I think they really are going to became symbol of lie, as they lie too much.I agree with them as they said ” vousavezouvert la boîte de Pandore “, because they are suffering lots of misfortunes and disasters after saving Mitra. It is the most “désastreuses” for them, because they can not hold their fake congress easily, as members of Freudian Association of Iran’s participate in them. Facts revealed. Sana’ti’s certificate went in doubt. It was found gohar Homayounpour’s certificate is invalid. An arrest was issued for 2 of wild Psychoanalist. They ashamed and it is still continuing.

Recently, about a report published on Yahoonews, members of Freudian Association of Iran commented. They write about Roxane, daughter of Darius the third, the last king of Achaemenid Empire, a great Empire in ancient Persia.[2]
They even imitate their fake names from Freudian Association.
They lie repeatedly and steal ideas and then they became “angry” by revealing.

Dear Mr. Miller

I suppose after all that’s happened, you are now aware of the “wild psychoanalysts” of Iran more than anywhere else in the world. After seeing the second letter written to you by who we refer to as “The psyche dealers”, I thought to myself that they have once again created an opportunity for me to write to you.
Of course to you, their audacious attempt at writing another letter must be like “a storm in a teacup”!
Do they really not know that Dr. Kadivar is the only psychoanalyst present between the Black Sea and the China Sea? Do they not know what Dr. Kadivar being a part of AMP means? All it takes is a simple search in the directory of the AMP website for them to see her name. They know this far too well and that’s their problem!
This letter has been written in the most impudent and insolent way. The meanings to words have been distorted. It is filled with aggression and hostility. Seeing this letter made me realize how thankful I am to you that Dr. kadivar is present in Iran at the moment.
That Pandora Box is this very letter they have written to you; containing the psyche dealers’ misery and despair, and its following chain of events that we will see for sure.
They have once again utilized the same false and baseless accusations they used to omit Dr. Kadivar two years ago, such as letting patients/men in her house!!!
Do they have anything to do but to accuse? I think not. They try their utmost to associate any barbaric act happening in our surroundings to us. Does speaking so much of the acid attacks in Iran not mean that their world is crumbling down? Just like the stories of the battle between good and evil where evil is turned into a dark cloud or ash after drinking a potion in the end.
Dr. Kadivar has created a true hell for them, otherwise they wouldn’t be writing to you. We have words and are aware of the miraculous effect they have. We have our website while they have college tribunes.
They even cry out in our website. They are the ones who need to wash their hand just like Pontius Pilate just to diminish their crimes towards Dr. Kadivar, Freud, Lacan, and psychoanalysis.

Dear Mr. Miller

This time I will write about the letter sent to you reluctantly, since its writer has spoken in the same manner I heard her do in Iran Hospital for the first time. She is the spokesperson of that awful disaster.
The writer of this letter is one of the very accomplices of the incident in which Dr. Kadivar was hospitalized, and she is very likely to be the person who introduced herself as one of Dr. Kadivar’s colleagues. Her protest to the measures you have taken in the process of Mitra’s liberation is a result of her and her accomplices’ conspiracy failing.
Their tendency to destroy whatever they don’t like to see around them somehow shows their resemblance to the acid attackers. Did they not try to do the same to Dr. Kadivar? Do they not put effort into spoiling Dr. Kadivar’s image even to you? To me, what they are doing is like preaching to the converted.
What burns them the most is Dr. Kadivar’s position in the AMP, the very same- and only psychoanalyst present between the Black Sea and China Sea!

Dear Mr. Miller
I ’m honored to write to you again. I would like to give my comments about the letter sent to you from Ms.Rozane Irani. I am surprised why Mr.Sanati ,Ms. Homayounpour, do not stop telling lie and conspiracy. They claim “Dr. kadivar writes letters of accusation against psychiatrists, psychoanalysts and psychologists”, while there is an evidence shows that, contrary to the what they claim. Dr.Kadivar gives Iranian people insight and enlightenment about mental traders that contain false psychiatrists, fictitious psychologists and wild psychoanalyst. People such as Sanati and Homayounpour are heads of mental traders and fishing in muddy waters. They want people stay in ignorance and unawareness to obtaining more wealth, therefore they teach this trade to their students. After a while we hear their patients were abused
About political problem mentioned in the second letter ,Ms. Homayounpour has given a lecture in Freud museum and call the Iranian government, the enemy of psychoanalysis (on 21March 2013) “… the Iranian government, called it the enemy of state-psychoanalysis- which I think they are right (people laughing aloud). I agree.”, while Freudian association has gotten a permission of activity from this government. In general, Sanati- Homayounpour union wanted to eliminate Dr. Kadivar and Freudian Association.
After the first international congress;۱st Iranian Psychoanalytic and Dynamic Psychotherapy Congress” the union of Sanati -Homayounpour held a other congress in Tehran where they impeded the Freudian association members to participate and they closed the door of congress. When the Freudian association members insisted to attend the congress, they started swearing and pushing the members. The purpose of this hidden congress was attracting attention of foreign guests and their financial support .Ms. Homayounpour has BGSP Inc. ( ranking D) certification but she Introduces herself as a psychoanalyst and the Freudian association dose not let her to make fraud anymore.
In this letter they talk about morality. Dr.Kadivar has told about ethic in psychoanalysis. I ‘ve learned ethic is different from morality in Lacan’s theory . Mental traders not only do not have ethic but also morality. A person who tells lies- big lies- how can talk about truth and honesty.
The Freudian association web site is where every body can speak and give his/her opinions. The mental traders took the opportunity to insult Lacan ,you and Dr.Kadivar there and were not censored.
Finally, we believe that Dr.Kadivar is the only real Psychoanalyst from the Black Sea to the Sea of China”. She is a gift that God has bestowed upon us .

Dear Mr. Miller
I ’m honored to write to you. For the first time, I became familiar with you in Dr.Kadivar’s book, Lacan’s school; twenty first century psychoanalysis. With Dr.Kadivar’s scarifies were that I slightly realized that how much psychoanalysis is different from the thing that I used to imagine.
Recently a letter was sent to you, that by reading it, l was surprised. Because there are some big lies in it.
Firstly, the first congress was held in Social welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences University, not in Shahid Beheshti University.
I guess maybe they need credit. Because credit and prestige are very important for them. Shahid Beheshti University is higher than Social welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences University in ranking.
There are here a point: Interestingly in the letter they didn’t mention the topic of the congress. I think They are afraid of you. Because It was named “۱st Iranian Psychoanalytic and Dynamic Psychotherapy Congress”.
Secondly,the later lie is related to insult. There were some parts in congress. One of them was questions and answers. In this section the members of Freudian association raised their hands to ask to speak. In this section everybody could speak a long time and comfortably except the members of Freudian association. Only one member could speak in very short time. At the same time, members of Freudian association asked lecturers to give the sources of Freud’s text. For example a lecturer said Freud was anti-religious, members of Freudian association said where you found such words from Freud?
Their Reaction was spectacular. For example, nobody had not any question, but the congress holder wanted to ask, or at the time one of the Freudian association member wanted to speak they cut off her the microphone. Another time the microphone was lost.
Thirdly, Sanati does not have any degree of psychiatry. Sanati, one of the heads of congress, were questioned by the remembers of Freudian association. Because he is neither a psychoanalysis nor a psychiatrist. When the members mentioned false speech, Sanati took the microphone and said I’ m a psychoanalyst, then one of member said you are not a psychoanalyst. After that time they didn’t give the microphone and close the section.
Then they called the Freudian association, Da hesh, rioters and insult Freudian association members.
In short, in this congress there was numerous wild psychoanalysts. In this 3 days congress Freud and his achievements were ridiculed. They talked about psychoanalysis by scanning brain mouse, cats and dogs. Although they have stolen Kadivar’s literature, but Sanati and his friends (Homayoonpoor, Tavakoli, Movahedi ,…) distort history of psychoanalysis in Iran. in the congress, they said “Freud was not Freudian” and today they call Lacan as a Philosopher and Dr. Kadivar a psychotic.
In general, They want to eliminate Dr. Kadivar. I think they are cunning people.

Sincerely Yours,

Dear Mr. Miller
This is my honor to write to you for the second time.
They rudely sent you an email again, hoping to explain to you about Dr. Kadivar! They think (believe) that you do not know since they have never met a genuine psychoanalyst.
They wrote: “sur le site de Kadivar non seulement aucune réaction mais des incitations à “LAVER” “le visage” de ceux qui ne lui plaisent pas par “L’ACIDE de la culture”!
This is a lie! They left a comment on Freudian Association website containing acid attack. We got shocked! The name of the person who left the comment was Marjan Laiman, a name similar to one of Freudian Association members’ name and some days later, they sent you this email!
They wrote: “propagande et complot contre le gouvernement islamique! et du genre moral, accusant les personnes en question d’avoir des relations sexuelles en dehors du contrat du mariage; les deux genres d’accusations étant passibles de peine de mort, parfois par lapidation”!
This is also a lie! They are not accused of such crimes; neither will these accusations easily lead to penalties they have mentioned.
They do the same to Freudian concepts: Abusing words. They do not show reverence to words. They have also made Freud’s words empty of meaning and have attributed their own meanings to these words. They had tried to take advantage of the vacant position of psychoanalysis in Iran while this position has been taken up by a psychoanalyst called Dr. Kadivar. They cannot tolerate her because they tell lies.

Dear Mr. Miller

The Writer or Writers of the second email to you seem(s) to be mad.
How do they tell lie so easily?!
Now that they have accused Dr. kadivar and her site of supporting acid splashing so easily falsely, in my opinion no lie from sanati and Homayounpoor and their friends is impossible.

Dear Mr. Miller
I have learned a lot from this second letter. Actually it reminds me of the film “Indecent Proposal”, because of indecency that –by false name of “decency”-runs through all of it, and also the astonishing proposals that it confers. But I must say that the main source of what I have learned was from these proposals. My lessons are:
Lesson no 1: If someone asks about the place of faculty of psychiatrist of university of England, he is rising political charges against Iranian Government.Does the writer thinks that Iranian government has got any support from England?! because otherwise I cannot understand how this proposal has been made. It seems that she desparately needs Politics for her conclusions.But her anxiety reveals something else; in Persian we say “If you raise the stick, the thief of the cat will flee!”
Lesson no 2: Someone can go to a website which is full of study material, and because its higher than her level of understanding, forgets about it and go to Q & A section, an open forum that everybody can comment and post it, and tries NOT to understand that if someone is mocking there Freudian association by comparing its activities with Acid attacks, on that basis she cannot say “Eureka! I have found the origin of “Acid Culture”.” Even here Sherlock Holmes gives in.
Lesson no 3(and this one is really marvelous): If an association tries to bring psychoanalytic activities under international laws and regulations, it’s like an opened Pandora Box. This time she must really help me in her third letter, because I cannot see the logic of this astonishing conclusion.
Lesson no 4: For becoming a psychoanalyst there is no need for a long training; Pretending to have concerns about the Freudo-Lacanian cause is enough! If only I knew this 14 years ago when I started my training under Dr. Kadivar’s supervision.
Lesson no 5: The meaning of under-achiever. I really didn’t know that It can be used for the most energetic person who I have ever seen in my lifetime, the one who knows nothing about fatigue, who has brought about “Freudian revolution” to my country! Using under-achiever for a revolutionary person is a revolution in words in itself!
Lesson no 6: If someone thinks that Asia is from Black see to see of China, she knows nothing of Geography. Right. But it seems that the writer knows nothing of mathematics and simple subtraction. If she knew that in Japan there is an AMP analyst, what remained was a simple equation: Asia – Japan =?
Lesson no 7(And I think the biggest lesson that I have learned from this letter): The mechanism of watering down and distorting Freudian Theory. As Dr. Kadivar has thought us: changing only one word is enough. “I am awake, so that no one can sleep”. When she changes “I am awake” to “I cannot or do not sleep”, she puts aside the metaphorical meaning of “being awake”, and so her brilliant coonclusions follow!
I invite everyone for a long applaud for her. When someone does something really stupid, we say in persian, ironically, that the viewer of that stupidity can do nothing but die! I think I am in such a state!

Dear Mr. Miller,
After publishing the second email I am able to see these invaluable sentences by Freud and that is when it is associated with the only psychoanalyst from the Black Sea to the China Sea:“…if he started in life as a practicing physician, he would find himself in a society which did not understand his efforts, which regarded him with distrust and hostility, and unleashed upon him all the evil spirits lurking within it.” (Freud, Introduction, lecture1, standard edition ) The ”evil spirits” who reached the uttermost of wickedness and now that they have been apprehended and brought to justice and are in close proximity to Hell, they have not avoided anything to “save“ themselves. Indeed, these attempts only reveal their wickedness more and more.
Freudian Association have sent emails to Iranian officials. These emails contain the same content of Freudian Association and whatsoever found on the Freudian Association website in compliance with the Freudian Association’s goals:“Introducing psychoanalysis to Iran society and its real place based on its merit in Iran.” Indubitably, one of the requirements of fulfilling this goal is combating wild psychoanalysts and revealing their lies and wickedness with the name of psychoanalyst and through psychoanalysis support.
Freudian Association members in websites and virtual pages are constantly being blocked by their adversaries. In contrast, the people against Freudian Association are at liberty to comment on Freudian Association website. They frequently named Dr. Mitra Kadivar psychotic and called her names. It gets to the point where they comment on Freudian Association websites and attribute them to Freudian Association members: “LAVER” “le visage” de ceux qui ne lui plaisent pas par “L’ACIDE de la culture”.
The writer of this letter posed this question: What could they be if they are not distorting the truth?
“… the Iranian government, called it the enemy of state-psychoanalysis- which I think they are right (people laughing aloud). I agree.” Gohar Homayounpour said in 2013 . This is while Dr. Mitra Kadivar and Freudian Association have been active in Iran since years ago.
Besides, we ask how marrying a psychoanalyst to his or her analysand could be explained.(Sanati deed, a wild psychoanalyst)
Dr. Kadivar has also mentioned that “an analysis in never without an effect and its effects are never the ones mentioned in the naïve culture. ” As a member of Freudian Association, I am shocked with the unbelievable shocking effects of psychoanalysis on wild psychoanalysts.

Dear Mr. Miller,
Sorry I forgot to mention the source of ” SOS MITRA- APPEAL TO THE PSYCHOANALYSTS…” which is:http://freudianassociation.org/%d8%aa%da%a9%d8%b1%d8%a7%d8%b1-%d9%87%d8%b4%d8%af%d8%a7%d8%b1-%da%98%da%a9-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%86-%d9%85%db%8c%d9%84%d8%b1-%d8%af%d8%b1-%d9%84%da%a9%d8%a7%d9%86-%da%a9%d9%88%d8%aa%db%8c%d8%af%db%8c/

Dear Mr. Miller,
Never have I thought that in a short while, I would have this honor to write to you two times, as I have never though that the “wild psychoanalysts” act like this or better to say react like this.
They supposed us to let them do what they wanted about the “only analyst in the Black Sea to the Sea of China” and to culture and reputation of our country, then we eulogize them?! While we are passing a way that everyday proves us its trueness more than yesterday?! When the meaning of culture, reputation and hometown has changed by being a member of “Freudian association” and attending classes of Dr. Kadivar and have benefited greatly from results of her efforts?!
I wonder what have the writer of letter thought of, that wrote you a second letter, in a different language and talk about “Que la decence l’emporte!”. What is strange is that this is you who is the addressee of their letter, and they want to show the truth in this way, let alone they want to talk to people who have just come to them and think that whatever these “wild psychoanalysts” tell them is “psychoanalysts”.
They have no evidence in talking about malfunction of Dr. Kadivar, the president of “Freudian Association”, nor about “Freudian Association”, therefore just talk about what they have heard, such as ” let patients / men home” exactly like what they did for keeping her in hospital (even if they are right, don’t they have any patients from other sex? Or it is just not ok for Mitra Kadivar, the one they can’t defeat!). And now they talk about Dr. Kadivar and claim regarding her dream, or fantasy trying to eliminate colleagues physically! colleagues! And talk about conspiracy in their letter! What a shame!
As these people have not experienced a real education nor discipline in their carrier, and as they have been supported by “recommendation letters” (as mentioned in my previous writing about Sanati), they are doing their best to make this experience happen again.
This is funny and painful at the same time that when they didn’t receive the answer of the first letter (in case we don’t consider Homayounpour’s letter to you trying to defame Dr. Kadivar in 2013), from you and became aware that you sent that to Dr. Kadivar, they wrote the second one, just to prove that how far their distance is from the “real psychoanalysis”.
Their talking about Roudinesco, Acid, political issues says how empty-handed they became and they are trying every single way that they can. Not knowing or trying not to know that, it was you that said: “SOS MITRA- APPEAL TO THE PSYCHOANALYSTS,-TO FRIENDS OF PSYCHOANALYSIS AND FREEDOM” . Against whom was it? If they have forgotten, we have not.
They present the saying “A drowning man will clutch at a straw” no matter what this straw is. As they can’t defeat Dr. Kadivar, a real analyst, they want another real analyst to help them. This event would definitely make them drowned, if they have not drowned until now.

Faithfully yours

Dear Mr Miller
It is my honor to write you for the second time with regard last email that sent to you. I have to explain some untruth and lies in this email.
1- They argued that Freudian Association accuse them to conspiracy against Islamic republic of Iran, but it is not true. We mentioned in our website that Gohar Homayounpour said in Freud museum: Islamic republic of Iran is enemy of psychoanalysis and we say it is lie. She try to say every thing to shows that she is very in pressure to extend the psychoanalysis!!! all of them is lie.
2- Most of what we send to Iranian authority is about event that happened for Dr Kadivar in Iran in 2013. You know better who tried for this disaster in Iran. Other emails that we send to Iranian authority are about Dr Sanati ‘s degree and his claim about being psychoanalyst while he is not.
3- We said in our website that generally some wild psychoanalysts or some wild experts !!! have sexual relationship with client but we do not say name of defined person and also this view was said in “answer to questions” in our website as a comment and it was not sent to Iranian authority. They said these lies to show situation very bizarre but they told lies.
4- In most of paragraphs of this email, we see only lies. They tried to lie and lie for their purposes. They try to eliminate Dr Kadivar by saying their lies that she is psychotic. You know better why Gohar Homayounpour was very angry when Dr Kadivar was free from hospital. She tried by one of her students (one of Freudian group of Tehran and a wild psychoanalyst) to imprison more Dr Kadivar in hospital in 2013.
5- In this email said “Mme. Homayounpour à fait preuve d’une grande décence en ne pas signant pour Mme. Roudinesco.” This sentence shows me that Gohar homayoupour control herself very very difficulty for not showing clearly her enmity to Dr Kadivar. Why does she has decency for not signing for Roudinesco?!!! Because of unconscious, her purposes always is clear.
6- In this sentences “IL parait urgent que Kadivar sache que son “under-achiever” être ne peut blâmer les autres pour ses frustrations; en effet, qu’a t’elle fait depuis sa rentrée en Iran il y a plus de 20 ans je crois.
La prétention au titre de “seule psychanalyste de la mer Noire à la mer de Chine” montre que Kadivar non seulement n’a aucune connaissance de la Geographie mais aussi qu’elle veut realiser ce rêve ou plutôt ce fantasme, en essayant d’eliminer physiquement ses collègues; mais la Psychanalyse qu’elle pratique (diffamation, accusation…) ne fait rêver personne; qu’elle garde le titre mais qu’elle laisse les autres Travailler; dernièrement elle a écrit sur le site: je ne dors pas pour qu’ils ne puissent dormir (les autres psychanalystes qui ont osés TRAVAILLER et organiser des conférences ;n’est-ce pas ceci qui mit le feu aux poudres pour Kadivar?)” they wrote that she tries to eliminate her colleagues!!! Two big lies!!! Who is her colleagues?! Dr Sanati without degree or with degree from Faculty of psychiatrists of university of England?!! They try to show that they did not have any role in Dr Kadivar ‘ s hospitalization by saying these shameless lies. Indeed they are who tried to eliminate Dr Kadivar. These emails were sent in order to remove your support from Dr Kadivar and then they do “wisely actions” to eliminate Dr Kadivar!
7- Mr Miller I am sure that name of “Roxane Irani” is lie too. They are very coward. They have fear to write real names.with best regards

Dear Mr. Miller,
Its my honor to write you again.
“Wild Psychoanalysis” wrote you another letter; it seems that they are trying much more to stop Freudian Association of revelation; they write to you in French language!!
We know that the reason of confined to psychic hospital of Dr. Kadivar was not political. The wild psychoanalysis insistence to say it was political because they are searching a way to eliminate her. ACID culture is the same thing that they don’t want to see the other! “The other” who is the “law”.
I think the writer is right about Pandora’s Box, but from another point of view! They lived with their lies, hypocrisies and to misuse of people’s pain for many years. And now Dr. Kadivar who guide Freudian Association does not let them to continue as they do before with Iranian society. So it is Pandora’s Box for them!

Dear Mr. Miller
When I read the first plaintive letter of “Wild Psychoanalysts” which were complaining and claiming to you about our Freudian association activities, I remembered the famous worlds of Mr. Khomeini at the beginning of Iran revolution in 1978. At that time, some revolutionaries had complained to him about hard situations and people who sabotage in their works; Mr. Khomeini answered: “never complain about them to me, just give them a kick in their back and hit them, in the way that they come here and complain about you”. This terms are suitable for our today position and activities against of fraudulently psychoanalysis. They had to do so, because, Freudian association give them a bad kick in their master heads, and hit their foundation.
As you know, the wild psychoanalysis continuity depends on deceiving population, fake up resources, presenting sophistical and misleading texts or workshops, blocking the fact and propagating canards and etc. So, we just laugh at them and never care about their noise pollution.With the best regards,

Dear Mr Miller
I write to you for second time and I like writing to you very much because you understand depth of words. I do not know what these psycho-traders (name of wild psychoanalysts in our website) who sent emails to you, want from you?! More they send email,more their lies become clear.
They are like feeble-minded who do not know meaning of the words and only understand the surface of things. They grip surface of words and follow it. It is wonder for me how they write to you that know depth of words. They do not have any way for escape in front of you.
They hint in this email about sleeping and not sleeping. This part of their email shows us that they grip surface of words and they do not think at all about these words. It is not very surprising, because we do not expect other thing from these psycho-traders. If they want to harm people by abusing the name of psychoanalysis, Freudian association by Dr Kadivar ‘s leadership do not allow them.

Dear Mr.Miller,

I am writing to you again regards the second letter you’ve received from a person who calls her/himself Ms.Roxane Irani. I am sorry that he/she was not enough confident to address her/his title and position.In short, I would like to bring my notes through some questions:

1-What is disturbing sweet dreaming of those who are known as “wild psychoanalysts” in Iran? If there is not anything wrong with what they have done, why those letters to the Iranian authorities should bother them? If “It is accusation against psychiatrists, psychoanalysts and psychologists” they can easily resolve the accusation, can’t they? Why should they ask you to stop Dr.Kadivar instead?

2- Why they should mention acid attacks at the second paragraph of the letter? Do they want to make deviation in reality or they simply want to show they are responsible for everything happens in Iran. If so, why they do not try to answer the simple questions of the Freudian association members, such as: “where is the faculty of psychiatrists of university of England?” They are worry about acid attackers but they are not worry about those frauds who are truth attackers.
I am sure they don’t want to think or believe that Dr.Sanati and his -let’s say accomplice – have been working as psychoanalysts for about 30 years and had make foul of educated and uneducated people over these years.

At the end, I am sure you know each of Freudian association members by our names, skills and job titles and also because of technology you can easily find the translation of our comments on http://freudianassociation.org so no interpreter is needed for you.

Sincerely Yours,

Dear Mr. Miller
I am really honored to write you for the third time. But let me thank this enemy who gave us this golden opportunity to write you, and about what? Freudian Association and Dr. Mitra Kadivar. And is anything more pleasant in the world to write about?
First of all I should admit that I have never seen such a big liar in my life except Mohammad Sanati! You cannot trust even one word of it. You know Sanati is the example of this saying referred to Churchill: ‘tell a lie such big that everybody believes it’! I think they are so disappointed! Or they do what they can here in Iran. If they have any document, why wouldn’t they go to the court? Legal organization is established for this very purpose.
You know – as we say in Persian- wise enemy is better that stupid friend. But this is our bad chance to have such ‘unwise’ enemies! Most of battle taste is due to the challenge it motivates in you. But we are deprived of it now! Any way let me say a few word about these claims:
1- We are informing the authorities of our country about what happened to Dr. Kadivar. We send our documents such as LQ, your interviews and so on to authorities in charge such as the head of judiciary branch or members of our parliament. We send our documents about Mohammad Sanati who has been practicing psychiatry and ‘psychoanalysis (of course ‘wild psychoanalysis’) for 30 years without required training to these authorities as well. No one of these authorities objected this and why should an anonymous unrelated person do so? Consider that this is our legal right in Iran and we use it. Who can deprive us of that? You know ‘they are very angry’ that the government does not think that psychoanalysis is its number one enemy as Homayounpour tries to induce it to people in IPA!
2- You know that it was Homayounpour and her ‘group of friends’ such as Nader Aghakhani, Foad Saberan and Michele Rotfus who tried to make it political (based on Homayounpour ‘s statements). They did so to cover their role in that tragedy. Who introduced herself, Saberan and Aghakhani as Iranian psychoanalysts who confirmed that Dr. Kadivar is really psychotic? Please consider that Saberan and Aghakhani are ‘wild psychoanalysts’ who are not permitted to inter Iran. May be they have a power to tele-diagnose, who knows?! Moreover, who sent Esmat Torkghashghaei to Iran Psychiatric Hospital again as a ‘psychoanalyst’ to report:’ nothing was political’? She repeated Homayounpour ‘s words. Who had heard about Torkghashghaei before that? They picked the situation to name themselves psychoanalysts, you know why? Because they are dying to get Dr. kadivar ‘s place. But it is an impossible wish! Freudian Association is awake not to let others to sleep.
3- The most interesting part is acid attacks. They themselves send comments about ACID WASH in our site (we published it anyway) and use it against us! And I wonder who else could relate such a thing to Freudian Association and Dr. Mitra Kadivar? You know there is an open dossier for their violence toward members of Freudian Association just because ‘attending’ a congress claimed to be related to psychoanalysis! And 2 ‘analysts’ trained by Homayounpour who are members of ‘scientific committee’ of the congress of ‘Geographies of Psychoanalysis’ are in detention because of our legal compliant! This is what they aimed to do with the name of psychoanalysis: violence and of course as they themselves confessed: extramarital relationship! Who else can know better about them? (We just mentioned this fact that Dr. Sanati married his ‘analysand’!). You can ask ‘members of scientific committee’ of the congress of ‘Geographies of Psychoanalysis’ held by Homayounpour about violence, attack and “acid culture’! I am asking Homayounpour: who is in detention for violence in a ‘Psychoanalytic congress’? Does IPA know about that?
And one more thing: I would like to clarify that as you know better Mr. Miller, Dr. Kadivar has got no colleague in Iran because there is no other psychoanalyst in Iran. And anyone who doubts it, is referred to AMP and IPA site!
Yours Sincerely and with Great Respect

Dear Mr. Miller
Let me write you again about this email from ‘practising psychotherapist’! First of all it seems that they are ashamed of calling themselves psychoanalyst in front of you and this is a gain. Second, this is Homayounpour who violated defamatory act of England approved 1996 (chapter 31) in her speech in Freud Museum in United Kingdom territory about Dr. Kadivar according to which not only herself but also Freud Museum can be sued.
1. ‘ People’ mentioned in this email really stole Dr. Kadivar’s ideas from her book, audio files of ‘Freudian Thursdays’ and lessons of Dr. Kadivar in the classes of ‘Group of Freudian Field – Lacanian School’. We have documents to prove Ms. Homayounpour stealing Dr. Kadivar’s lessons, let me show you just one example:
BEFORE listening Freudian Thursdays:‘Gohar Homayounpour (2002) In the Name of Times Past: A Psychoanalytic Textual Analysis of Ancient Persian and Greek Mythologies
Abstract:
The present study examines two major myths of the Persian and Greek cultures from a psychoanalytic perspective. The author hypothesis is that: the mythology of different cultures leaves its trace on the collective unconscious of the individuals immersed in these cultures. While tracing down the common denominators of a number of Persian and Greek myths, the author attempted to show how Persian culture is about killing sons while Greek culture is about killing fathers. As such, this research involves the application of psychoanalytic methods to the understanding and interpretation of cultural products. The cultural products in this research are part of the material culture known as myths: the organized fantasies of a culture—the most fanciful and intimate aspects of a collectivity.
Through the dual lens of postmodernist critique and applied psychoanalysis, the author tries to show how the cultural expression of Greek mythology reveals themes of homosexuality, misogyny, narcissism, and the pursuit of death. Conversely, Persian culture, as expressed through its mythology, is steeped in nostalgia, the struggle for absolute obedience and dictatorship as a defense against underlying inter-psychic and intra-psychic chaos.’ (http://www.bgsp.edu/research_gohar_homayounpour_02.html)AFTER listening Freudian Thursday 18th, article presented “Family Romances”, date: 2007
(and I should add: after one of the students of Dr. Kadivar stole her lessons and audio files of her classes and gave them to Homayounpour, the one who has an open dossier related to this theft and you should know that he is one of the members of ‘scientific committee’ of the congress of ‘Geography of Psychoanalysis’ held by personal finance of Homayounpour and its poster published on IPA site! The theft is also one of those people who are in detention according our legal complaint!)
Andrea Baldassarro
‘In her comparison of two founding myths, Oedipus in the West and Rustam and Sohrab in the Persian Book of Kings in Iran, Homayounpour formulates an hypothesis where children, in the Persian tradition, are killed because of their wish to rise up against paternal authority.
Then, we come to think that both myths – though culturally and geographically so distant –
refer to the same castration anxiety that, as Homayounpour properly notices, informs the
Oedipus myth, in which before the killing of the father, Laius, there is an attempt of
infanticide by the latter.’
http://www.ipa.org.uk/en/Culture/Geographies_of_Psychoanalysis/Conferences/en/IPA_World/Geographies_conferences.aspx?hkey=3ca8d8dd-d029-4242-86f7-242c4b10c9ad
You see? We do not say a word without document.

2. Let me say a few more about other points in this email. Is this Dr. Kadivar’s fault that we have no other analyst in Iran? Moreover, we remember the years before Dr. Kadivar came Iran. Who had the courage to say Freud? After her arrival and thanks to her nonstop efforts, today the Ministry of Education of Iran writes about Freud ‘as a scientific’ in educational books of students. People who ignore such a fact are the ones who stole Dr. Kadivar’s lessons and try to register her ideas as theirs. Such ‘people’ are those ‘would be analysts’ who introduce themselves to you as ‘practising psychotherapist’ but hold ‘1st congress of psychoanalysis’ in Iran! Is psychoanalysis the business of ‘practicing psychotherapist’s?
3. And about training: we – ۴ students and analysands of Dr. Kadivar – are permitted to practice analysis superintended by Dr. Kadivar in ‘Africa Psychoanalytic Center’ after being analyzed and trained theoretically at least for 10 years by Dr. Kadivar and this permission dates back to last January on. But Ms. Homayounpour ‘trains’ and ‘analyzes’ people by TELEPHONE for just THREE MONTHS in ‘Freudian group of Tehran’ (you see? Even the name of her group is stolen from Dr. Kadivar’s) and call them analyst and let them analyze people on that basis. And anybody can see that why she has to shot her shop in presence of Dr. Kadivar. This is the matter of money, jealousy, and inferior juissances that you know better about.
4. Dr. Saman Tavskoli and Mohammad Sanati try to register Freud to Sanati, a GP who should be sued for practicing psychiatry without required education and you can see what an ‘analyst’ he can be! Homayounpour was one of panel members in that ‘psychoanalytic congress’ which Sanati established and it is not surprising that she supports him, who else should support such a big liar?
5. I really wonder who is saying that ‘ her [Dr. Kadivar’s] analyst has failed to make proper diagnosis and he should be prosecuted for negligence and malpractice.’ It is written on our website that the analyst of Dr. Kadivar was analyzed himself by Lacan. The writer thinks when such an analyst ‘failed to make proper diagnosis’; psychiatrists and ‘practising psychotherapists’ can make a ‘proper diagnosis’?! Is this their stupidity or grandiosity delusion?! In addition, they reveal by that claim their ignorance about what they call ‘diagnosis’ in psychoanalysis. They know nothing of ‘Freudian structures’. You see? They are ‘people’ who call themselves analysts (of course when they think you are not hearing them!). We saw their counterparts (as psychiatrists and psychoanalysts!) in Iran Psychiatric Hospital who tried to explain us that one can become psychotic all of a sudden!
6. They even ignore this fact that when the name of Dr. Kadivar is registered on AMP website as a member, she is approved as an analyst, but I think we expect them too much, how could a ‘practising psychotherapist’ know about these things?!
7. Homayounpour, as you know better, tries to occupy the position of ‘your base of research about Dr. Kadivar’. It seems that she thinks you are the father of Dr. Kadivar. I think she cannot accept this simple fact that Dr. Kadivar is a prominent analyst in the world and as Lacan says ‘analyst receives permission just from him/her’.
8. And the strangest thing is that they speak of ‘truth’ while the exact ‘people’ who deny it are themselves. ‘The truth of the desire’ is the only ‘truth’ we heard about in Freudian Association and we did all we did based on it.

Dear Mr Miller
I am a member of Freudian Association and it is my honor to write to you and I write this letter under permission of Dr Mitra Kadivar. I want to explain my comments about the letter sent to you from a person called him/herself “practising psychotherapist”. I prefer to comment about it by referring to the letter line by line. I put his/her letter words between “…”.
Please accept my apologies for my weak English writing.
“Dear Mr. Miller.
I am writing to you with regards to Mitra Kadivar.“
I think his/her lies begin here. If (s)he had any respect for you or Dr Kadivar, (s)he didn’t write this letter even.
“In the first international congress held at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran some 6 weeks ego, she sent her trainee analysts to the congress shouting, insulting the organisors during the 3 day congress (videos of their actions is available).”
Next lies: The name of the (fake) congress was 1st Iranian Psychoanalytic and Dynamic Psychotherapy Congress (1IPDPC), and it was held in another university. Shahid Beheshti University is a higher and better university (at least in public opinions) than the university which the congress was held at.
We are members of Freudian association (not trainee analysts) who participated at the congress and only 3 people have permission to do practicing psychoanalysis due to Dr Kadivar’s permission and by supervision of her (Dr Parva, Dr Posht Mashhadi, Mrs Fadai). The writers of the letter thinks they can do psychoanalysis after 3 months of training(!!!) and because of that they told us “trainee analysts”! The congress had 3 sessions each day for Q/A, but only 1 or 2 sessions was held. Sometimes they even didn’t let us to finish our questions. And only at the last day, after cancelling 2 of 3 Q/A sessions, we ask our questions without microphone and they were simple questions, not insulting questions, questions such as “Where is the faculty of psychiatrists of England university?!”. We questioned the president of the congress for his psychiatry degree (the congress was organized by Iranian Psychiatry Association). Videos of our actions are available! We are very glad if you and all the world can see these videos.“Is this what the trainees are supposed to do in order to become analysts? She has sent a letter to the Royal College of Psychiatrists in the UK asking whether Dr. Sanati, one of the Congress organisors’ doctorate degree is legitimate or not?. They have written back confirming his fellowship and Ms Kadivar posted it on the Freudian Association Site claiming that this does not prove that he is a psychiatrist and calling upon the hospitals to suspend him. Please note that he is a renowned professor in Iran. She has been sending 100 emails to that effect to 400 people, from the President’s Office and all head of universities, and hospitals where he used to teach and work on daily basis for the past 8 weeks. This is clearly an infringement upon people’s privacy.”
Our email to Royal College and their answer is published in our site. It is very clear that somewhere which people are “members” and if they don’t give annual money for their membership, their membership is cancelled, can’t give any degree to anyone. Royal College itself said that they don’t give diplomas or degrees.
They think that asking questions about the degree of someone who is a “renowned professor” is an infringement upon people’s privacy!!! I ask myself: “Do they know anything about anything?!”
“She has been moking people on her wesite making defamatory remarks using the lowest possible language, character assissnation is the order of the day. Using remarks like her royal highness, the man with the earing, the witch. What she is doing is like Middle Ages witch haunting. She accuses the psychologist, psychiatrists and all other people who utter Freud’s name of stealing from her book, the latest victim is Dr. Tavakoli who talked to a newspaper about Freud. Freud’s books, articles and papers have all been translated over 60 years ego and are still being translated in Iran.”
I think this paragraph shows who insults who.
“She claims that she has been analysed, we think if that is so, her analyst has failed to make proper diagnosis and he should be prosecuted for negligence and malpractice.”
By these words, we can see how they think about psychoanalysis. And these people organized a congress with the name of psychoanalysis. What a shame…
“The amount of what she and her trainees are doing is huge. You NEED TO INTERVENE MR MILER If you keep supporting her in this way that means you tacitly agree with what she is doing and we hold you PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE for her actionS over here in Tehran. If you have any doubts send someone to do fact findings for you, talk to people find out the truth. DO NOT SACRIFICE THE TRUTH AND TRADE IT FOR LOYALTY. You have acted unwisely in the past by supporting her without knowing the truth and it is about time you found out the truth and disassociate yourself from her.
Our very best,
Xxxxxx
practising psychotherapist”Yes, Dr Kadivar’s workS and actionS are huge and we, members of Freudian Association, try to do our best and work many more and more, not only to fight these wild psychoanalysis actions, but to introduce psychoanalysis in Iran.
This is a good opportunity for me to thank you PERSONALLY for your huge works for supporting Dr Kadivar in a disaster events that these psychiatrists made for her.

With best Regards

Dear Mr. Miller
It’s my pleasure to write for you
I’m one of Freudian Association member in Iran, and I’m honored to join it. The Association which for blessing of only Iran’s psychoanalyst and was formed in Iran for introducing psychoanalysis to Iranian society and for ascertain the actual position, which was deserving to it (1 ) and for reach to this goal, another step was taken by development of Freudian Association ‘s website, and subjects was introduced to website as textbooks of Dr. Kadivar, Translated useful texts on psychoanalysis, vocal files of Razi’s Tuesdays and Africa’s Sundays and … . After awhile one reader of Freudian Association ‘s website asked a question about Dr. Mohammad Sanati, who was known as a “renowned professor in Iran” in email sent to you, this means that “Where is the school of psychiatrists of university of England?”, where is receiving place of psychiatry degree of Dr. Sanati”, and this question was unanswered up to now. Later, this place was replaced in Wikipedia page of Dr. Sanati.
Later, “the first international congress” was held in University of Social welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences by presidency of Dr. Sanati. In that congress, some of wild psychoanalysts were attended, which some of presented texts by them and their unethical behavior was as follows:
They said that Freud was not a Freudian. They consider mutual transfer as a right for themselves, because they’re human. They related their interpretation to their analysis. They presented telephonic psychoanalysis. They married with their analyses. They talked about ethics whereas by unethical actions and recommendations in their analyses, ignore the basic principles of morality and civilization.
When it was asked for sourcing presented subjects, they refused to answer. We learned sourcing the subjects in Freudian Association by Teachings of Dr. Kadivar, and readers of Freudian Association ‘s website were learned them in a short time, too, but these apparently scientific society were not learned them yet. In this congress, they didn’t allow to Freudian Association members to question and answer. They had been offense them. They were called them”DAESH”, just for withstand to their lordship speech by talking, and appeared their thirty years mysteries.
Also, they were wrote in their emails that” She accuses the psychologist, psychiatrists and all other people who utter Freud’s name of stealing from her book”, whereas the history of literal rubbery from her texts and textbooks are present in Freudian Association ‘s website.(2 )

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr. Miller
.I thank you for your attention to Freudian association
.Some people are liars not lawyers for Truth
People who made “case of Dr Mitra kadivar”, then were Divulged, and then were too angry.they write lies to You
They want to destroy prestige of psychoanalysis with people & take down the name of Iran to the world
Some psychiatrists &psychotherapists claim that they are psychoanalysts,but their heads turn towards objects:seat, fame & earning money
Organizers of that” congress” have no problem with them. All of them have a
Problem with the” Lacanian psychoanalyst”. Why? They disagree with real Psychoanalysis
They want to repeat a stale noise. A little bit of psychoanalysis theory with a lot of “other” things.
Their activity means nearly like this:” once upon a time there was a Freud, but all thing is different, now”.But believe in the same tests on mice.
.Only psychoanalyst’s title is important for them
No belief principle to Freudian theory ,no analyze ,no pass & only analyst’s ” title” .”Sweet & comfortable.”
Freud:The doctors fight every new truth in the beginning
.Afterwards they try to monopolize it
Mr. Miller! Be sure, we can know how to vindicate & impress the Freudian-Lacanian Psychoanalysis, even among psychotherapists &psychiatrists
.Led by AMP, You & Dr Kadivar

Dear Mr. Miller,
Some of Iranian wrote a letter to you who held “the first international congress of Psychoanalysis and psychodynamic Psychotherapy in Iran”. But it was not international congress. They have just invited some foreign guests but the congress and its poster didn’t say about being international. This congress held in “University of Social welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences”, not in “shahid Beheshti University”.
We asked Royal College about the degree and education of Mr. Sanaty and you can find the answer of Royal College in:http://freudianassociation.org/%D9%BE%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AE-%D8%B1%D9%88%DB%8C%D8%A7%D9%84-%DA%A9%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AC-%D8%A8%D9%87-%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%B9%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85-%D9%85%D8%A7-%D8%AF%D8%B1-%DA%A9%D8%B4%D9%88%D8%B1-%D8%AE/
And until now he didn’t answer. For two times he changed the place of his study and the year of his graduate in Wikipedia. It was the only thing that he does.
10 members of Freudian Association participate in that congress (I mean they have got registered and pay for it) but the persons in charge didn’t let them to ask their questions. Any way they asked Mr. Sanati “where is the Faculty of Psychiatrists of University of England? You are “Daesh”, they answered!
And after the congress some of Mr. Sanati’s friends wrote letters and published them to console him. Even some of them try to present a complaint against Freudian Association. And now they sent you a letter!

Dear Mr. Miller
It is an honor for me to write to you once again. From the time of Dr. Kadivar’s release until now, the Freudian Association has divulged many facts leading to Dr. Kadivar being held hostage by the “wild psychoanalysts”. I am certain you are aware of the proceedings of “Freud in Iran” campaign.
The culprits behind this historical disaster held a congress in October 2014, believing that after the event, Dr. Kadivar will leave the country, letting them rob her achievements easily. This congress consisted of everything and anything but what Freud and Lacan have gifted to humanity.
Freudian Association, whose main objectives are introducing psychoanalysis to the Iranian society as well as discipline the usage of psychoanalysis as a title or a practice, participated in this congress. The members stated their questions during the designated Q&A, but the organizers confiscated the microphone from them, booed them, used profanities against them such as “psychotics”, and accused them of being a part of ISIS. The head of this congress was Dr. Mohammad Sanati. He has an untraceable psychiatry degree and is also not a psychoanalyst. A few of the attendants in this congress were the literary thieves who have stolen parts of Dr. Kadivar’s articles and book.
The lecturers had collected all the distortions that had been done regarding Freud in the past hundred years in the world and presented them during this congress.
One of the lecturers, Siamak Movahedi – Gohar Homayounpor’s teacher at BGSP Inc, stated that during the final years of his life, Freud showed desire to go back to telepathy but Jones stopped him, saying we’ll lose our scientific prestige by doing this!!!!
Another one of the lecturers expressed that Lacan was a philosopher rather than a psychoanalyst! At this point the audience which mainly consisted of psychologists and psychiatrists, cheered loudly!
The presence of the Freudian Association in this congress brought upon great achievements, one of the effects of which was to make sure that these “wild psychoanalysts” know that there is a place called the AMP, and that there is a person called Mr. Miller to whom you cannot write and call yourself a psychoanalyst with no evidence backing up this claim. This is precisely why the person who wrote to you called themselves a psychotherapist. As you know they even reduced the name of their congress to just “an international congress” in an attempt to hide their assertions. Now there’s no one left in Iran that hasn’t heard of the Freudian Association, or that hasn’t heard their cries of protest.
The most shameful part about it all is that they don’t realize that ordering a psychoanalyst, and judging his actions regarding Dr. Kadivar’s backup in such blatant and shameless manner, is a rather silly thing to do. They fail to grasp the fact that fame can never replace degree. The writer of that letter has put himself in the shoes of every Iranian. The people of Iran are a grateful nation towards their scholars and future will certainly reflect that.

Sincerely yours

Dear Mr. Miller
This is my honor to write to you. I am writing this regarding the first international congress mentioned in the email sent to you.
The mentioned congress was not held in Beheshti University but in University of Social welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences (USWR).
The full name of this congress was “the first international congress of psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy in Iran”.
Its scientific chairman, Dr. Sanati –the person in the email sent to you was mentioned as a renowned professor in Iran- has introduced himself as a psychoanalyst for more than 30 years in Iran. He has been practicing for more than 30 years as a psychoanalyst. He describes the students trained by him analysts.
In that congress headed by Dr. Sanati, the member of IPA, Horst Kaechele asked: was Freud a Freudian? And he answered: No. Then the participants laughed.
In that congress headed by Dr. Sanati, Dr. Siamak Movahedi said: in his last years, Freud wanted to describe psychoanalysis as telepathy but Ernest Jones prevented him.
In that congress headed by Dr. Sanati, Farideh Isavand, one of the lecturers said that she was a Lacanian psychoanalyst and the participants applauded. She presented subjects from Dr. Kadivar’s classes and Freudian Association website with incorrect understanding and without mentioning the reference, as an article.
In that congress headed by Dr. Sanati, we heard strange words which were more like delusion and they said all these strange words as psychoanalysis.
We registered and participated in that congress to attempt to protect psychoanalysis.

Dear Mr. Miller
First and foremost I would like to say that it is an honor for me to be a member of Freudian Association led by Dr. Mitra Kadivar who is a member of AMP.
Second, I believe that you have, from the first lines of the letter, realized what kind of people you are dealing with. The fact that they know that Dr. Kadivar is a member of AMP, is a miracle in itself!
In October, Dr. Sanati held a congress in relation to psychoanalysis. There he spoke of the history of psychoanalysis in Iran without even mentioning Dr. Kadivar’s name. Dr. Sanati who is a board member in university of Tehran, is a self-proclaimed psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, while his psychiatry certificate is questionable. He claims in his personal portal that he has graduated from “Faculty of Psychiatrists of University of England”. We searched but never found such place!!
I had never in my life heard as much nonsense about Freud and psychoanalysis as I did in this congress. During the Q&A, we asked them “How can someone whose psychiatry degree’s validity is in question, speak of the history of psychoanalysis in Iran?” or “How can such person be the head of a psychoanalysis congress?” but they refused to let us speak by taking the microphone away repeatedly.
Three days after this congress, Gohar Homayounpour held another international psychoanalysis congress which we were not allowed to attend. The organizers had blocked our way by lining up in front of the door just like bodyguards, stating that “This is a private ceremony, would you attend a party you haven’t been invited to?”. It was a rather absurd sight.
Gohar Homayounpur is allegedly a Freudian psychoanalyst, graduated from BGSP Inc. which is an irrelevant private incorporation and not even affiliated with the IPA. She claims to have established a Freudian group in Iran, having no certification for it whatsoever. During a speech in the Ferudian Museum in 2013, she stated that The Islamic Republic of Iran considers psychoanalysis its prime enemy! Meanwhile, The Freudian association had already received a license from The Interior Ministry in 2008.
Dr. Saman Tavakoli who has been mentioned in the letter is a psychiatrist, and an acquaintance of Dr. Sanati. In October 2013, he did an interview with a domestic newspaper about psychoanalysis and Freud in Iran. A big chunk of his interview was stolen from Dr. Kadivar’s book. We found the instances of this literary theft and requested the newspaper to publish our opinions about it as well; however, the newspaper refused our request, so we listed the evidences leading to this literary theft and emailed it to all Iranian newspapers.
We started a campaign about “Freud in Iran” and emailed all universities, state centers, and media.
As Dr. Kadivar has taught us that “Freud is psychoanalysis and psychoanalysis is Freud.”, it is our duty as the members of the Freudian Association to fight the “wild psychoanalysts”. It is something we do on our website on a daily basis, as well as all the questions we asked during the three days of the congress. I believe the letter is sent to you from some of those “wild psychoanalysts” whom have been enraged and despaired by the disclosure of facts.

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Miller
One of the persons that Dr Sanati, chief of congress introduced as psychoanalyst in the congress is Gohar Homayoupour who produced a group named “Freudian group of Tehran” and then inside this group she and her friends and her students analyze people from telephone, Internet and It is lasted only 3 months for student to transform to psychoanalyst!!!
When we wrote about these “wild psychoanalysis” in our website, They sent email to you that Dr Kadivar and her trainees mock people. Dear Mr Miller we do not write about every one, we write about wild psychoanalysts who try to transform psychoanalysis to every thing except psychoanalysis. Dr Sanati for example in the congress said to us “You satisfy your Id”. This is what they called psychoanalysis.

Dear Mr Miller
I think I have to write about congress. This congress was a fake congress because its title was psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy but in congress everything was said except psychoanalysis. They tried to transform psychoanalysis to mixed psychotherapy in which every thing is said and every thing is done for example pharmacotherapy and couple therapy and CBT in this congress were psychoanalysis. Also every person in this congress was introduced as psychoanalyst. For example Dr Sanati who does not have a diploma in psychiatry and was not analyzed, introduced himself as pioneer of psychoanalysis in Iran. He claimed that he was trained in England but he does not say exactly where! He introduced his students and friends as psychoanalyst! He ignored Dr kadivar and her efforts in Iran and only in one sentence he introduced Dr Kadivar beside translators of Lacanian books. Speakers in the congress mixed psychiatry and psychology and then they said these are psychoanalysis!!!
In this congress as Marjan Poshtmashahdi said psychoanalysis, Freud and Lacan were repressed. One of speakers who is member of IPA, Horst Kachele mocked Lacan and asked participant if Freud is a Freudian and then himself answered: no!!!
In first congress They were very shameless, I think if we did not protest, they would say founder of psychoanalysis is not Freud!

Dear Mr Miller
I am a member of Freudian Association and this membership is the biggest honor in my life. Firstly I thank you and Dr kadivar because of your efforts to extending Psychoanalysis in the world and then I want to write you about events that happened these days in Iran.
I was in the first congress that held 7 weeks ago. Chief of congress, Dr Sanati, is not a psychoanalyst and even he is not a psychiatrist. He cliamed in his personal website on the site of Tehran University of Medical Scienses, he recieved his degree from “faculty of psychiatrists of university of England” and also he claimed in his personal website that he has a degree of fellowship on psychotherapy from “psychiatrists university of London”. These universities are not existed. This truth was detected by Freudian association. We sent email to Dr Sanati and asked him “where is faculty of psychiatrists of university of England” and he answered this false information was published by newspapers and Wikipedia; While he forgot this false information is on his personal website initially. Main reference of Wikipedia was his personal website. After this, he changed his personal page on wikipedia but again he continued false stories about his degree.
We took part in his congress and asked him again “where is faculty of psychiatrists of university of England”. After congress he changed his personal website on the site of Tehran university of medical scienses and claimed that he received his degree from Royal college of psychiatrists in the UK and He said nothing about psychotherapy and psychoanalysis degree. He also paid fee for membership to Royal college after 7 years that he did not pay. In 7 years ago, he was not member of this college. Exactly after congress he again paid membership fee. Royal college of psychaitrists in the UK is a scientific organisation or association and it is not a faculty. “The Royal College of Psychiatrists is the professional medical body responsible for supporting psychiatrists throughout their careers, from training through to retirement, and in setting and raising standards of psychiatry in the United Kingdom.” (About the College, from Royal College sitehttp://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/aboutthecollege.aspx “
He and his colleagues expect us to believe this False information. One of his colleagues, chief of Iranian scientific association of psychiatrists, claimed that Royal college offer very valid diploma of psychiatry but Royal college does not have this claim. They answered to our question “ The Royal College of Psychiatry does not give diplomas or degrees but instead is the body responsible for setting the standards of training for Psychiatrists in the UK.” (http://freudianassociation.org/%D8%AA%DB%8C%D8%B1-%D8%AE%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B5-%D8%B1%D9%88%DB%8C%D8%A7%D9%84-%DA%A9%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AC-%D9%85%D8%A7-%D9%86%D9%87-%D9%85%D8%AF%D8%B1%DA%A9-%D9%85%DB%8C-%D8%AF%D9%87%DB%8C%D9%85-%D9%86/ )Video which said in their email to you “(videos of their actions is available)”, is only about our question” “where is faculty of psychiatrists of university of England?”
They abuse people by experts !!! without degree and expect us do not say anything.

Dear Mr. Miller,
This is from a Member of Freudian Association, Soode Rakhsha and I’d like to state my honor for writing to you.
Reading your email to Dr. Kadivar, I remembered one more time that there is a huge distance between what I think psychoanalysis is and what it really is.
About the forwarded letter, which seems that was sent from organizers of a recent congress in Tehran, there are several points that I’d like to mention some of them:
Firstly, let me introduce the conference, because they don’t dare say the name completely to you and just said “the first international congress”! It was named “۱st Iranian Psychoanalytic and Dynamic Psychotherapy Congress”. If there is a congress related to psychoanalysis, how can it be possible that Dr. Mitra Kadivar, the only analyst of Iran and the only member of the WAP from the Black Sea to the Sea of China wouldn’t be present there? And her name was just mentioned once by Dr. Sanati, with the name of some translators and students of him, while mentioning her book’s name wrongly?! Is it all a small mistake?
Secondly, what happened in that conference was that speakers came and said whatever they wanted to, in the name of psychoanalysis, and in the time of questions and answers, any of us,11 members of Freudian association who were present there, who had a question raised their hands to ask their questions. In case they let us talk, we introduced ourselves by saying our name and saying “I am a member of “Freudian Association””, and continued with the question. That was all. But this “I am a member of “Freudian Association” sounded “shouting and insulting” to them.
What was our question then? One of the main points that we have learnt in classes of Dr. Kadivar (Sundays of Africa) is to say every single sentence with its reference. After attending in 23 series of classes, we can’t forget about what we have learnt these years just because of these organizers lack of knowledge and because they want to plagiarize. Our question was “what is your reference?” or “According to what we have learnt (mentioning the reference) this is not true.” It was what they couldn’t tolerate.
And in the last day, when they came and presented their meaningless lectures and imputed them to Freud, Lacan and you and omitted the time of questions and answers, we asked our questions without waiting for microphone, loudly. They did the same with the questions and answers part of second and last section. So when they wanted to celebrate the closing of their congress while omitting our question time, we continued asking our main question there: Dr. Sanati! Where is faculty of psychiatrists of England University? (It was where he used to graduate from! before we asked him.) And where are Messrs Joghataii, Jalili, Rafatian? (They were supposed to be present in that congress before hearing about presence of Freudian Association and before association sent them informing emails.)
And this last question about Dr. Sanati made them unable to celebrate their so-called psychoanalysis congress and couldn’t have their cakes and so on. One thing that they didn’t mention in their email is that they shouted at us, insulted us, kept talking harshly to us, filming and attacking members of Freudian Association.
They mentioned that we were “shouting, insulting the organisors during the 3 day congress “, and said “videos of their actions is available” but they say nothing about availability of Dr. Sanati’s degree. He used to introduce himself as a psychiatrist, therapist and a Freudian analyst. But after this congress and sending the emails that they mentioned in their letter, he changed his profile and forgot about being a psychiatrist and therapist. But he still makes money through related jobs.
I assume that by ignoring the “Freudian Association”, they are planning to ignore Dr. Mitra Kadivar, the president of this Association, as they did their best in 20013 too.
Thirdly, it is astonishing that they don’t refuse telling even small lies: The congress was held in University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences not Shahid Beheshti University (where Ms. Homayounpoor claims that she is a professor).
In English part of “about us” of their site they didn’t mention the name of university [1] but in Persian part, they mentioned in completely [2]
As we learnt, an analyst should have passed and finished their own analytic period with a Real Analyst. And after finishing a real psychoanalysis the person is not necessarily going to work as an analyst. But what these people expect psychoanalysis is this: “Is this what the trainees are supposed to do in order to become analysts?” and this is another evidence of their misunderstanding (if not saying “trying to take advantage of psychoanalysis”.)
They said that “She has sent a letter to the Royal College of Psychiatrists in the UK asking whether Dr. Sanati, one of the Congress organisors’ doctorate degree is legitimate or not?.” As it is mentioned in our site, this was Salmanizade, not Dr. Kadivar who wrote a letter to royal college and their answer didn’t say anything about a confirmation [3 and 4]. What are they gaining from changing the truth to another thing?
And as far as I know, not Dr. Kadivar nor Freudian Association called upon the hospitals to suspend Dr. Sanati. But this group is receiving recommendation letters from different people who have positions related to psychiatry (Dr. Fadaii: Head of the Department of Psychiatry of University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences, Dr. Jalili: President of Iranian Psychiatric Association and Dr. Naghavi: President of Roozbeh Hospital)
I wonder if it is an unaccepted action, why did this group send this letter for you. Is everything allowed for just some people? Which part of sending email to people is infringement? Which rule is being broken by sending informing emails to people? And while they use very strange words and language in different sites, they expect us keeping dishonesty of a person that can ruin lives of a lot of people and patients as a private issue?
I couldn’t find the meaning of “moking” in the dictionary. It is interesting that for finding a word, there is a reference, but these people are trying to destroy the only original reference of psychoanalysis of Iran and then make false copies of her by naming each other or other people “analyst”, “Freudian analyst” and etc .
By “her website”, if they mean the website of Freudian Association, we criticize, talk and reveal their defamatory actions. Yes, their reputation is being damaged, but by themselves.
This is crystal clear that what these people want to feed people with is nonsense and deceives people, then they want us to accompany them and leave our Bible away and keep their comments as our reference and collaborate with them in hiding the name of Dr. Kadivar?! This is not our way, far from us!
They are making a tiny mistake, Dr. Tavakoli is not the latest person about which our association has talked, about his saying and reporting false things to people and hiding the truth was for almost a year ago. The point is that Tavakoli is another student of Dr. Sanity and they are just exonerating Dr. Sanaty (again this name!).
Dr. Sanati is one of the people that we know about his efforts for the problems Dr. Kadivar faced in 2013. And he is still continuing hiding facts in other shapes.
They are right, about translation of Freud’s books in Iran, but they have just forgotten mentioning one thing; changes in translation and words that have entered to Persian language after returning Dr. Kadivar to Iran is totally different from before; who knew, no who even heard about “psychical rectitude”? Desire, Real, Symbolic, Imaginary, Subject Supposed to Know, Other and many other concepts? And who was brave enough to say the word “sexualite” and talk about that?
But now after 21 years of effort of president of this association, we can talk about Freud easily and we have an association named “Freudian Association” which has the license from ministry of Interior.
As the time passed by we understand that they have done a lot of things, and now for clearing some parts of that, they are just making new worst mistakes continuously.
Thank you again for sending us this email

Faithfully yours

Dear Mr. Miller
Regarding the letter that was published on 23 November in Freudian Association’s website, [1] I’m writing you some points:
1. the 1st Iranian Psychoanalytic and Dynamic Psychotherapy Congress has not been held in Beheshti University. It was held in the University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences.
2. 11 members of Freudian Association and I were present at the congress for 3 days. In all the 3 days They (The organizers and participants (300 persons)) insulted us in all the ways they know. They did not allow us to ask our questions. they cut our microphone. they pulled the microphone.
In congress, members of Freudian Association introduced themselves in this way: “I am…, member of Freudian Association”. After that, the participants booed us.
however, in these 3 days, we heard Freud’s name a few times . It was told a few Sentences from Freud but by Members of Freudian Association, not the organizers. They called their congress Psychoanalytic Congress but they mocked Freud. One of lecturers said Freud was a fanatic and he did not like to change his views. Another one stated ,Mockingly: Did Freud was a Freudain? Then he answered: no. While the participants were laughing.
3. Mohammad Sana’ati, Congress President, introduced himself as a psychoanalyst, while his psychiatric certificate is not traceable. This was exactly our question in congress. He has not answered yet. I’m so glad that the videos of congress are available. Because They change their words easily and deny reality as a piece of cake. In congress when one of the members of Freudian Association wanted to ask from Mohammad Sana’ati, they said he is not present. While he was sitting in front of salon.
I studied clinical Psychology at Tehran University. Before Freudian Association’s activity, Freud was in the mud. Professors of Tehran University apologized students before speaking about Freud. In those 3 days I understood they are still in the mud with what is called psychoanalysis. In those 3 days, a repetitive Sentence was “I just had a feeling…” Lecturers reported only their countertransferences.
4. For 30 years Mr Sana’ati, in website of Tehran University of Medical Sciences, newspapers, Wikipedia and… claimed that I have graduated from “Faculty of Psychiatrists of University of England(!)” this is our question, where is Faculty of Psychiatrists of University of England(!)? Logically, he must publish image of his certificate, but because there isn’t any certificate, he ask others to testify for his certificate.
5. What is sent for authorities and others by Freudian Association, are documents that have been published in the section of information campaign of “Freud in iran”,[2] and also articles about certificate of psychiatry of Mr Sana’ati in the site. These are privacy?
6. If there wasn’t dedicated Dr Mitra Kadivar and the Freudian Association’s activity, now in iran we would have wild psychoanalysts equal to the total population of the country.. Mr Sana’ati and Mis Homayounpour, who also claim herself as a psychoanalyst, analysis people even through telephone and… then allow them to analysis others.

Dear Mr Miller
At first it seems it’s strange that someone after bombarding you with conspicuous lies and deceptions, ask you not to sacrifice truth. But when we consider that it’s an old and outmoded technique, which dates back to Inquisition, it loses its strangeness. So I correct myself. It is only outdated.
I don’t know the name of writer but I guess that he/she is one of the multitude of people in Iran that call themselves psychoanalyst (of course not before you) without being under analysis for only one session, one of those “wild analysts” who let themselves to hold “congress of psychoanalysis” and marry their clients, among other unethical things that they do, with such a frequency that now we don’t even sense a strangeness when we hear them.
“where is the place of fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis here?”, “why you had so much countertransference reactions? because in this congress we hear that Freud was not a Freudian”, “What is repressed here is psychoanalysis”, “If you know the place of unconsciousness in the brain, would you remove it by surgery?” … was among our comments and questions. I think we can call them impressive or crushing at most, not at all insulting. But you know we heard several insults such as “you are deranged and exotics!”, “psychotics in chains!”, “you must be fixed and take PRN drugs!”, “shut up!”, ”members of Da esh”(Islamic state)! and etcetera. Even we were deprived of microphone to ask our questions and physically threatened. I guess that this guy hasn’t been in congress personally, because he/she even doesn’t know that the congress was held in university of social welfare and rehabilitation, not Shahid Beheshti! and the result is a letter based on hearsay and gossip! What a shame! And now I understand why he/she is using “ego” instead of ago two times in his/her letter: probably he/she is speaking about his own ego all the time.
So you can guess the validity of the things he/she has said about the Freudian association website. Dr. Sanati, a wild psychoanalyst, with his trainees, together or alone, has a long history in trying to stagnate our activities in Freudian association and doing harm to Dr. Kadivar in hospital. And the thing that he/she says as “calling upon hospitals to suspend him” is nothing other than a simple question: “where is the faculty of psychiatrists of university of England?”, the place that Dr. Sanati has claimed he had gotten his specialty in psychiatry. One of these trainees is Dr. Tavakoli who in that interview with newspaper claimed that Freud has come to Iran by Dr. Sanati (The funny thing is that Dr. Sanati himself says that he is not a Freudian). Under guidance of Dr. Kadivar I wrote a logical answer to that claims in newspaper, and when they refused to publish it, we published it in our website, the only possible social media that we have to be in contact with our readers. You know, our media in Iran are in love with wild psychoanalysis, and the Freudian association endeavor to change this cultural milieu, and I think it has been successful, otherwise he/she would have not written “the amount of what she and her trainees are doing is huge”. It seems that for them hospitalization of Dr. Kadivar was not enough. Now they are going to prosecute her analyst!

With cordial feelings and best regards
Yours truly

Dear Mr. Miller
“In the first international congress”* Elahe Sagart and Babak roshanaee Moghadam were called members of IPA whereas they are just candidate. Lie!
“In the first international congress”* the member of IPA, Horst Kaechele asked during his speech “If Freud was a Freudian or not?” and answered by himself “No”. Then all the audiences laughed and clapped. Lie and enormity!
Even when there is nothing clear about Sanati’s psychiatry degree he organized this congress! Sanati has been working as a psychoanalyst about 30 years and misuses this name for his benefits. Lie and enormity!
Bases of “The first international congress”* was on Lie. Freudian Association with Dr. Mitra kadivar’s guiding, is fighting against “Wild psychoanalysts” in Iran. They attempted to remove the only Iranian psychoanalyst even physically.
Please note the only question of the Freudian Association was: “where is the faculty of psychiatrists of England university?” And this is what they call “insulting”*. ” videos of their actions is available”*.

Dear Mr Miller
There is a deep disaster in Iran. I think an email that sent to you
shows us that psychiatrists and psychologists sinking in the marsh which is very deep.
I regret more when I hear only from these people who do not have conscience.
I am proud to have Dr Mitra Kadivar in Iran.Dear Mr Miller
In previous comment I said about marsh; I have experienced this marsh. Two years ago I went to one of persons that Dr Sanati, chief of congress introduced in the congress as psychoanalyst and because I knew only Dr Kadivar is a psychoanalyst , when I went to her; I said to her because you do not introduce yourself as a psychoanalyst, I came to you But she said I am a psychoanalyst, I was analyzed 300 hours.I asked her if you read Dr Kadivar’s book and she answered yes.
I enterd to her group therapy and I saw every depravity in group therapy and out of group therapy in feasts!!! In feast they had group sex and in group therapy every one had sexual desire to each other. Every thing that happened in this groups was very usual for analyst! In session she huged clients and took gift. When she went for a week trip to England, she gave her telephone number to me for telephone psychotherapy. I did not accepted. These some sessions were painful for me. Dr Sanati, chief of congress introduced her as psychoanalyst on this congress. It is dreadful.

Dear Mr. Miller
I am writing you once more – and this is my real honor to write you as a member of Freudian association of Iran -, this time I am writing not with worry and anxiety about Dr. Kadivar’s life, for I know she is safe and out of the dark hands of ‘would be analysts’ formed by Gohar homayounpour and Mohammad sanati in ‘Iran Psychiatric Hospital’. I have really nothing more than what you know about that catastrophe (for Iran of course that I myself as an Iranian still are ashamed of) to mention. But about this email I have some points to note. It is obvious that you remember dr. K in the hospital who wrote you about his grand wish to attend your classes and to occupy Dr. Kadivar’s place as ‘the only analyst of Iran’ and every body knows that he did what he could to make his dream come true. We are still informing people in our country about this fact that we are very proud to have a prominent member of AMP in Iran as the only analyst in our country, named Mitra Kadivar. As it is a route in Iran, psychiatrists are used to grasp every precious thing including psychoanalysis. But they do not know that where there is just one real Freudian who established Freudian Association, there is no place for liars. Let me note some points:
1- Dr. Kadivar is an analyst and no body can question what she does in this regard just for this simple reason that no one else is analyst in Iran, so who should say that she is wrong in doing so in Freudian Association as an organized psychoanalytic association?
2- This ‘first international congress’ in fact was ‘the first international congress of Psychoanalysis and psychodynamic Psychotherapy in Iran’ held by Iranian Scientific Association of Psychiatrists (which they changed their English name as Iranian Psychiatric Association to abbreviate it as IPA! Which reveals their Grand dream of being real IPA) and its scientific chairman was Dr. Mohammad Sanati, a General Physician who claims to be trained as a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst by Faculty of Psychiatrists of University of England (!) and just God knows where it is because we could not find a trace of it on earth! He let himself to hold the first congress of psychoanalysis and introduce psychiatrists, psychologists and even people like Gohar Homayounpour( who is a product of VGSP Inc) as analysts to Iranian society to collect an analytical ‘CV’ for himself to approve his being an analyst! He is the one who married with his ‘analysand’! to prove that how committed he is to ethical codes of even psychotherapy let psychoanalysis be not spoken of.
3- This congress was held in University of Social welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences (USWR) where I work as an academic, not in shahid Beheshti University.
4- In that congress we, 10 members of Freudian Association of Iran, attended as the members of the only registered analytical association in Iran whose mission is ‘to introduce psychoanalysis to Iranian society and try to acquire its preciouse position in Iran’. We attended there as Dr. Kadivar said to preserve ‘the name of the father’ as Lacan says; the word of ‘psychoanalysis’. And who can blame us for that? It was they who insulted us, rejected us, and did not let us to ask our questions. Dr. sanati picked microphone and called us ‘Da esh’! And you can apprehend who insulted whom! But let me mention one point about the lectures and the lecturers: every body can hear lectures and case reports in that congress on our site titled: ‘hear and laugh’! This was that psychoanalysis they tried to impose on Iranian society. No one heard a word form Freud except the name of FREUDIAN Association, we did not let them to repress the name of Freud in such a psychoanalytic congress and what we received back for it was: insult. The attacked us, cut microphone off on us, did not give us time to ask our question which we asked it inevitably aloud: Dr. Sanati, where is Faculty of Psychiatrists of University of England (!)? Do you think it is an insult to ask some one who claimed to be an analyst to prove his claim? You should also know that thanks to our enlightment, the head of psychiatric Association (Dr. Jalili), the president of host university (USWR- Dr. Joghataei) and some other ‘heads’ did not attend the congress which was planed for for more than 6 months. You know the ones who should hear our message did really hear it!
5- Dr. Sanati and Gohar Homayounpour are training ‘would be analysts’ (such as Dr. Saman Tavakolli who speaks for Sanati) through psychotherapeutic fellowship they gained recently from Ministry of Health and Hygiene of Iran, telephone, Skype and so on in just 3 months and let them to ‘analyze’ people. In this regard Freudian Association figured a legal complaint which resulted (till now but it still continues) in detention of two people : ‘analysts’ trained by Gohar Homayounpour and members of ‘scientific committee’ of the congress of ‘ Geography of psychoanalysis’ held by personal finance of Homayounpour, a congress which only private guests were permitted to attend and no where in Iran was announced, chaired by Homayounpour and Sanati and held behind shot doors to show any picture she wants to show foreign gusts of Iran. And she did everything she could to tell them that ‘Islamic Republic of Iran has introduced psychoanalysis its number one enemy’; a shameful lie. We are registered by Corporate Registration Bureau of Judiciary of Iran as Freudian Association, and isn’t it the proof of her claim being a big lie?
6- There are more interesting points to be mentioned but let me say just one for now: they are really sick to connect with you to heal their inferiority feeling about what you did for Dr. Kdivar in 2013. They are dying to have a response from you to add it in their ‘CV’s. it is ridiculous but we are living in a ‘third world country’ where ‘some’ people instead of being proud of having Dr. Kadivar in Iran, try to compete with her. And I believe that ‘you know better’ this story.Yours Sincerely and with Great Honor

Dear Dr.Miller,
I am Sepideh Sahar M.Mirzaei Zarandi a member of Freudian association. First of all, it is my honor to write you and I know I am indebted to Dr.Kadivar who provided an opportunity for Iranian to know Freud and Lacan through a long, hard and principled way. Secondly, I just want to bring some words to eradicate a flash to the dark point of what is happening these days in Iran since you have received a letter from some “practicing psychotherapists” who, I think, are in hurry to pass that long and hard way over a night. As you might be fully aware, today here in Iran there are the Freudian association, Africa Centre for Psychoanalysis, orientation sessions with Freud and Lacan and a website full of links, references, articles organized by Dr.Kadiva, her students and members of the Freudian association who beside their private analysis, are going further in order to do the Psychoanalysis in extension and are aimed to develop the Psychoanalysis at the community level. Now, there are a lot of opportunities for Iranian to become familiar with Psychoanalysis, Freud and Lacan no matter whether they are an Environmental or Mechanical engineer, a nurse, a senior student of phycology or a” renowned professor in Iran”.
Here by, I am asking Dr.Miller in sake of which reason or enthusiasm the congress organizer of “the first international congress at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran” and the author(s) of this letter have covered their eyes and ears to not see and hear the voice of an excellent and valid source of information about Psychoanalysis, Freud and Lacan. They are even ashamed to mention the full name of the congress they have organized in the letter (The First Congress of Psychoanalysis and Dynamic Psychotherapy!).
At the end, I would like to mention” You can’t wake a person who is pretending to sleep”; the new challenge for Dr.Kadivar and member of Freudian association is to not let them think we are complicit in their slumber.

Sincerely Yours,
Sepideh Sahar M.Mirzaei Zarandi
