In order to discover new meaning, we analytic practitioners regularly remind our patients that we don't simply assume to understand them. We try to unhurriedly dismantle that which has been stripped of meaning by overuse.

We've got a vibrant psychoanalytic community.You're offering an amazing professional/educational event. How do you reach analysts, therapists, supervisors, students and interns who are psychoanalytically savvy? Reach out in IMPULSE.
