POTENTIAL SPACE

ABOUT the CONFERENCE
A unique opportunity for everyone who connects their professional life with psychoanalysis to come together, share experiences, and establish new professional and personal connections.
In the age of modern reality, the psychoanalytic community faces new challenges. The online space, once perceived as foreign, has become a dialogue platform that transcends geographical boundaries. The ability for psychotherapists to work online, distance learning, and supervision with specialists worldwide is shaping a new landscape for practice.
However, in this digital dimension, the value of live contact, physical presence, and the incommunicable atmosphere of "here-and-now" and "face-to-face" is felt particularly acutely.
