If psychoanalysis is to go forward, survive, and thrive for new generations, dramatic change in the field will be essential. Methods of educating students to practice in today’s changing world will demand innovation like never before. In an age where information, human connection and nonconnection travels in seconds, the impact on the field can no longer be denied. This presentation will review recent changes in our organization and profession, and highlight areas that demand new strategies for survival. If new and diverse students, patients, and research are to be attracted to the field, traditional perspectives must welcome innovation that will enrich psychoanalytic ideas and practice. Strategies to facilitate change will be described with direction toward implementing critical change. Audio CDs: 1 | | Audio CD | | $18.00 | | $18.00 | |
