The paper describes the evolution of so called post-Kleinian analysis and its current style as exemplified in the work of Ronald Britton.

The Metropolitan Society of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapists Invite you to a Scientific Meeting

Friday, April 6, 2018 – 7:30 PM THE AGING PSYCHOANALYST   PRESENTER: JOYCE SLOCHOWER, Ph.D., ABPP

Most of us avoid dealing with the inevitability of growing old, much less our death. We avoid examining, much less theorizing, its impact on us as analysts. How will we manage the impending diminishment of capacity that often comes with aging? How will we help our patients confront this, and other actualities associated with aging?
