Abstract: . . . Shorewood Drive East Hampton, New York 11937 Notes & References Copyright 2002, by Gerald J. Gargiulo. Presidential Address for the International Federation for Psychoanalytic Education Conference on Psychoanalytic Space , October 2002 – Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Ammons, A. R. 1997. Glare. New York. W.W. Norton & Co. In this regard we can note another famous poet’s reflection when Borges writes: If, in fact, I am a self -p.93. (Borges, J. L. (1999) Selected poems. New York; Penguin Books. Grotstein James. S. (2000) Who Is the Dreamer Who Dreams the Dream? Hillsdale, N.J. The Analytic Press. Complementary dualities in conceptual and metaphorical vocabulary goes back to Egyptian cosmology, see for example The Egyptian Book of The Dead . James Wasserman . . . . . . perhaps more appropriately, “contained” (matters of time, space, roles, responsibilities, etc, being negotiated and spelt out). As our profession continues, dialectically, to mature and develop, and extends itself even further into uncharted terrain, we will need to increasingly bring our conceptual and methodological structures to bear on a less-traditional [for clinical psychoanalysis ] and more systemic plane. Organisations are, for example, replete with uniquely and collectively constructed meanings that have become reified. But this is precisely why psychoanalysts are uniquely qualified and positioned to expand the parameters of our practice in becoming managers, administrators, and consultants. We must endeavour to redefine the meaning . . . . . . psychoanalyst – administrator, faculty member, consultant, and so on -- must, then, attend to the various tension arcs between organisational cohesion and goals; and individual needs, desires, and goals. Our own capacity to directly manage conflict (in itself a neutral enough “given” of social and psychological discourses, and even an adaptive and creative aspect of life), and even bring to manifest levels, latent processes that might impact on optimal organisational functioning, . . . . . . the new year as well. We are looking for additional material for an early spring Newsletter/Journal and encourage you to contact David if you have something that you would like to contribute. I have also heard that Chicago will again play host to the IFPE ( International Federation for Psychoanalytic Education ) annual convention 5-7 November 2004. The Conference theme is: Ethics, Ethos, and Taboos . More information will be forthcoming as we gear up to make it really special. Best to all for a healthy and prosperous new year!
