Dear Colleagues,
The October 19, 2024 Seminar with Elizabeth Lima da Rocha Barros and Johanna Malone will be held as scheduled. However, it will be our last seminar. Our previous announcement (below) regarding seminars ending refers to our decision to not schedule any seminars beyond this October one. We apologize for any confusion and hope to see you on the 19th.

 

Respectfully,

Rodrigo Barahona, Larry Brown, Jack Foehl, Howard Levine, Chris Lovett, David Power, Dolan Power & Karen Roos

 

 

Dear Colleagues,
We feel we have gone a long way towards accomplishing our initial goal of expanding discourse to include international psychoanalysis and introducing our colleagues to ideas and voices that were previously not part of the standard Boston/USA curriculum. We are especially proud of the unique ambience that we have created together with all our attendees, presenters and consultants.

Although our seminars have continued to be of interest and value, we feel that since COVID and the loss of our meeting space at Wellesley, something special has been lost. We recently learned that Wellesley, despite weathering the COVID crisis, does not intend to return the Faculty Club to its previous use. That, and other considerations - aging, retirement, or other pursuits - have led us to decide not to schedule future clinical immersion conferences. However, we do intend to continue to fulfill our mission as a psychoanalytic educational corporation by focusing on our project of bringing to an English-speaking audience previously unpublished foundational texts in French psychoanalysis.

 

We are deeply grateful to those of you who have attended our seminars over the past years. Your participation has been a crucial and very special element in the success of our immersion weekends, and we thank you for this.
