Orthodoxy is Unconscious: Gatekeeping at NYC Analytic Institutes
A Candidate Initiated Dialogue

Friday, September 26, 2008, 7:30 p.m.

Speakers will imagine themselves as the founding members of a new institute meeting to establish practices to facilitate and evaluate analytic training. Participants will explore how gatekeeping influence who trains, who becomes an analyst and what happens after graduation.

NYC is home to many analytic institutes of a variety of theoretical perspectives, yet analytic candidates have limited opportunities to interact with candidates and faculty of other institutes. This insularity limits professional and intellectual exchange. Join us for a lively discussion of the tension between developing and evaluating future psychoanalysts.
