Fit for our turbulent times and for the last colloquium we shall be moderating, we have selected Peter’s excellent 2022 article: Owing and Being Owed: Shame and Responsibility Toward The Other, Psychoanalytic Dialogues, 32:4, 389-404, for discussion.

We hope this paper can engage many in discussion because of its clinical application, the ubiquity of shame both in and out of the consulting room, and the potential the paper has for a psychosocial focus at this crucial time. Peter Shahabad has generously agreed to be our colloquium author in the November 2025 discussion. We look forward to seeing and hearing many of you in our precious shared spaces.
