ABSTRACT

The final chapter addresses the current status of psychoanalytic education in the United States, which I argue has inherent flaws when one considers the social, political, and economic realities of climate change. This discussion includes suggestions for making adjustments—adjustments that embrace a psychoanalytic political vocation and attending political philosophy that requires alterations in the training and education of analytic therapists. I then move to address how we might reimagine, in part, psychoanalytic therapy—at least for some patients.
