Abstract

MION, Carmen C.. My experience at IPA. J. psicanal. [online]. 2017, vol.50, n.92, pp. 289-294. ISSN 0103-5835.

The author writes a brief reflection on her ten-year experience of working at international institutions of psychoanalysis fepal and IPA. Having a work experience at an International Committee, she believes, is a great opportunity to identify and critically re-evaluate the conditions on which our own institutional foundations are established. According to this author's opinion, thinking of their institutions and attempting to reach inside their internal breaches, in their several aspects, constitute an important part of the members' duties. Similarities, differences, conflicts, and pain are vital elements to build knowledge and to the psychic expansion of the individual, group, institution, and society. An open debate enables international relations to be more transparent and, therefore, more trustful and solid. It allows us to fulfil our purposes of making our institution turn into an object of thinking.

Keywords : psychoanalytic training; institutions; IPA; diversities/similarities; caesura.
