ABSTRACT
Anyone who visits a meeting of the American Psychoanalytic Association these days will be astonished at the breadth and vigor of its debates. We see intellectual ferment everywhere. But is that all we see? Is it just a variety of arguments – conflict vs. deficit, narrative vs. fact, etc.? Or is there an edifying story here – a story about a journey into our current issues and on to the goal of psychoanalysis in its second century?
