| | | APSA_NY13-301 | | Presidential Symposium: The Twilight of the Training Analysis System Speakers: Robert L. Pyles This presentation will summarize the principal analyses of the training analysis system formulated over the past 30 years, pointing to this system’s relevance regarding authoritarianism, infantilization, intellectual stultification, and institutional corruption in psychoanalytic education. The question is raised, whether replacing the present structure of psychoanalytic institutes and governance of psychoanalytic education may have a renovating effect on psychoanalytic science and profession, and on the impact of psychoanalysis on the broader scientific, cultural, and mental health environment. One such possible model of modern transformation of psychoanalytic education is presented, its advantages and constraints discussed, and the inevitable resistances to change explored.
