***This session will be recorded***

Date: January 28, 2:00 PM  Eastern Time

This inaugural event with Luminaries from 3 different PSA institutes (Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis, William Alanson White Institute and the Michigan Council for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy) will start off an online series titled: "So You Wanna Be an Analyst?" offering discussions on the varied aspects of psychoanalytic training in institutes in the USA today. It is designed to dialogue, engage, listen and understand the elements that are at play, social, political, theoretical and personal in the decisions we all make when we consider when, what and how to engage more intentionally in the psychoanalytic growth of our personal and professional lives. It is hoping to be a forum of intellectually thoughtful, mutually respectful and introspective space, where all can be heard without judgment, and encouraged to open a dialogue instead of furthering the echo chambers often large group discussion can find themselves in.

All are invited to, students, early careers, current candidates and analysts who wish to shape psychoanalytic training of today and tomorrow. (The series brought to you by the Candidates Outreach Committee and Section 1. of SPPP, Div.39)
