Post Conference Thoughts
By Categories: In Progress

What lingers most in my mind about the Future of Psychoanalytic Education conference on Dec. 1 & 2 is the vibe, the feeling that was palpable – in the cafeteria, the ladies room, the book selling space, and during the coffee breaks. I kept hearing people say “thank you” to me – and I was tremendously moved. It seemed to me that the very opportunity to meet together as a group of dedicated analysts, no matter what our affiliation, made everyone a bit high. Overcoming our differences enough to speak with civility, respect, and even warmth gave me real hope for our future. Listening to each other speak from the heart is our calling and we did ourselves proud, in my opinion. Yes, there are hurdles to jump, but the very fact that so many people from so many states found a way to participate in the meeting must be emblematic of our energy and dedication – our love for our work. It is just that energy, dedication, and love that will not only keep us afloat, it will allow us to soar.

The seeds of ecumenicalism have been planted – and if we tend to them, they will blossom. I thank all of you who participated and look forward to seeing you next year.
