We are pleased to announce that in the first week of February 2025 the Candidates Committee will host its annual webinar, exclusively designed for candidates and early-career psychoanalysts and relationally trained psychotherapists. This event offers a unique opportunity to learn from esteemed professionals in our field and to engage with an international community of peers.

This year we are honored to have Dr. Robert Grossmark (USA) leading the webinar on the topic, “Enactment: Its Provocation by the Analyst.” Robert is a distinguished psychoanalyst based in New York City, with extensive experience working with individuals, groups, and couples. He teaches and supervises at several esteemed institutions, including the New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychoanalysis and the National Institute for the Psychotherapies. He has authored numerous papers on psychoanalytic processes, group treatment, and masculinities, and several books, including The Unobtrusive Relational Analyst: Explorations in Psychoanalytic Companioning.

We encourage all candidates to participate in this enriching experience. Further details regarding registration and the webinar schedule will be provided soon. Stay tuned for more updates from the Candidates Committee.
