Psychoanalytic works and reflections  

I have written and delivered many lectures in the field of psychoanalysis. Most were clinical in nature, and usually confidential, so that they could only be presented to a small group of colleagues, clinicians, meetings and conferences. Relatively few of them were suitable for publication or for presentation in an open forum. Here I have included some of those  that are suitable for this purpose.

​

I also decided to find a place for my reflections on being a psychoanalyst.

 

My recent essay/poem - Facing the Great Beyond - occupies a special position on the junction of psychoanalysis and poetry.
