Rosalind Morris, Nadia Abu El Haj, and Nicholas Bartlett join the psychoanalytic thinkers of 'Pulsion,' in a symposium about free association and free Speech

Pulsion: The International Institute of Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Psychosomatics rose from the pandemic as an urgent call to move beyond the subjective angst and disaffection of patients in our consulting rooms to heed the maladies of society. We see this as a timely and necessary intervention in psychoanalysis as a discipline undergoing a shift in the ways in which it thinks the psychic and social together as bodily, sexual, drive-oriented phenomena.

The Pulsion ethos applies psychoanalytic thought with creativity and clarity to address larger socio-political concerns (societal, economic and political malaise, viral and environmental threat, global conflict and epistemological confusion) as we train a new generation of psychoanalysts to treat not only today’s patients, but also patients for the generations to come.
