Clinical Working Group

Psychoanalysis in the Institution — Ona Nierenberg

This clinical group will be oriented to the unique challenges and opportunities we encounter in hospitals, clinics, prisons, treatment programs, schools, and other institutions. We will explore the often surprising possibilities the analyst has to create and sustain space for the singular even in settings dominated by claims to the universal. Open to those currently working clinically in or with institutions.

Dates: Meetings will take place monthly on Sundays beginning in October, time and dates to be determined.

Location: To be determined.

Fee: There is no charge for attendance.

Registration: Please contact Ona Nierenberg at onierenberg@gmail.com or by phone at (917) 804-2467 to discuss your interest in participating.
