BPSI BULLETIN

The BPSI Bulletin publishes news of our organization, as well as articles by member contributors on wide ranging topics from within and outside of psychoanalysis. Our Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer Issues document the vibrant life of our community, and the intersection of personal, professional and psychoanalytic perspectives with the social, political and cultural worlds in which we live. In each issue, we hope to illuminate the mission of BPSI as an organization that encourages its members to express individuality, to nurture curiosity, and to illuminate the complexity and value of psychoanalysis in the Boston area and beyond.
