The walls within: working with defenses against otherness

Online Conference 5-11 July 2021

Holding the Turbulent World - ISPSO Regional Meetings 2026

In 2026 ISPSO is organising a range of regional meetings in many corners of the world. Meetings are planned in South Africa, the US, Australia, Europe and possibly other regions. They are all connected by one overarching theme: Holding the Turbulent World – How psychoanalytic thinking can sustain cohesion amid crisis and loss.

This theme offers a shared conceptual frame and leaves space for local interpretation and different formats.
