What Does it Mean to be a Psychoanalyst?
Dr. Sulkowicz will be making the case for a more inclusive definition of what it means to be a psychoanalyst. He will address the evolution of the concept and the implications for the field of seeing the role of psychoanalyst as having expanded beyond applying only to those who conduct clinical work. Clinical work will always remain at the core. This will be an interactive session that draws on his experience as a clinician, then as a psychoanalytic consultant, and now in a leadership role in the American Psychoanalytic Association, and his interest in the social and organizational aspects of psychoanalysis as a profession.
