MPSI presents a Virtual Panel Discussion and you're invited.
This panel, co-organized by Rafael Cohen and Corbin Quinn with support from the MPSI Program Committee, will consider formation from multiple perspectives and explore the various strata at which it occurs. How, we ask, does formation function intrapsychically, in one’s personal analysis, in the encounter with psychoanalytic theory, in clinical work, in supervision, at our institutes, in our journals, and in our professional communities? Throughout, we will attend to historical and persisting contradictions between psychoanalytic principles and the material forms that training and transmission have assumed. Finally, panelists will offer their thoughts on the future of psychoanalytic formation and gesture towards new and creative ways of thinking about transmission and formation.
