The walls within: working with defenses against otherness

Online Conference 5-11 July 2021

Coffee with the President - 17 December 2025

Meeting: 17 December 2025

Coffee with the President

An Online Event

The "Coffee with the President" series is intended as an easy and accessible way for us to meet and have regular conversations.

You might have questions for me, for any board members who are present or for each other. Maybe you want to discuss something.
This space is not limited to formal ISPSO matters. Whatever is alive in the system is welcome in the conversation.

This meeting will take place on Wednesday 17 December at 5pm CET (1 hour duration).

It seems to me that this is a good moment to look back onto the past year, how you and we all experienced it, and to share any feelings, thoughts and reflections we might have.
Looking forward to 2026 might be just as rewarding. It will be an interesting year with some experiments: no in-person AM, an online symposium, and a range of regional meetings under one overarching theme: “Holding the Turbulent World – How psychoanalytic thinking can support social cohesion amid crisis and loss”, of course in connection with our work in and with organisations.
