Program Description:

In this two-day conference, featured speakers will explore the intersection of the personal and social unconscious, and how psychoanalysts must engage with the socio-political world. The conference will offer a liminal space for participants to immerse themselves in dialogue about contemporary society. A short-film “We Are Human First,” will serve as a catalyst for deeper conversations about psychoanalytic applications beyond the consulting room. Through small and large group experiences, participants will have opportunities to share reflections in a reciprocal learning environment. We will delve into theoretical discourse and clinical material with the aim of legitimizing community psychoanalysis as a vital component of psychoanalytic institutional training.

There is no known commercial support for this program.
