EXPLORATIONS

Psychoanalytic Explorations at IPSS

IPSS invites practitioners of psychiatry, psychology, social work and psychoanalysis to participate in a series of papers prepared and discussed by members of the IPSS community.
These papers reflect our theoretical niche which centers on self psychology, intersubjectivity, and dynamic systems theory, while also embracing neuroscience, infant research, classical psychoanalysis, and other relational theories.

Come listen, learn, and share your views with us.
