IASP Annual Conference: The Adult in the Child and the Child in the Adult
Toronto: 20 Feb 10
Practitioners of psychoanalytic therapies for children and adults have tended to mix with their own kind. This lack of communication may have impeded the opportunity for valuable learning from one another. This conference will promote such a conversation by offering an opportunity for the two communities to engage in a dialogue.

Two highly skilled practitioners of contemporary psychoanalysis will present their clinical work in an exquisitely open way, allowing us to observe it from the inside.
