Development of the Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis

During the 1970s, the psychoanalytic world was in considerable foment. It was during this era that Freud’s theories were being challenged and revised to more adequately address the most pressing clinical and therefore theoretical issues of the day. The culture was in transition, with greater emphasis on the narcissistic needs of the individual as well as a gradually emerging willingness to re-examine the very essence of what was a healthy person.
