Welcome to the CPPNJ Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy Community Blog!
Psychoanalysis has always thrived through conversation, through the exchange of ideas, thoughtful reflection, curiosity, and the willingness to engage with one another across differences. It is in this spirit that we are delighted to launch the CPPNJ Community Blog.
A Community for Psychoanalytic Thought and Clinical Practice
This blog is intended to be a living extension of our educational and professional community. It offers a space where members can share reflections on psychoanalytic theory and practice, respond to contemporary issues through a psychoanalytic lens, explore developments in education and training, and consider the many ways psychoanalytic thinking continues to influence our clinical work, institutions, and broader culture.
We invite contributions from faculty, candidates, graduates, members, and colleagues at all stages of professional development. Whether you have a fully formed essay, a brief clinical reflection, a response to a recent conference, thoughts about teaching and learning, observations about the state of our field, or questions you would like to place into dialogue with others, we encourage you to participate.
The goal of this blog is not simply to publish ideas, but to foster engagement. We hope that posts will spark discussion, encourage multiple perspectives, and create opportunities for meaningful exchange within our community. Psychoanalytic thinking deepens when it is shared, challenged, and expanded through dialogue.
Psychoanalysis and your voice
As we begin this new endeavor, we invite you to help shape its direction. What psychoanalytic concepts are capturing your attention? What questions are emerging in your work? How is psychoanalytic education evolving? What impact does psychoanalytic thinking have in today’s world?
We look forward to hearing your voice.
Together, let us create a space that reflects the intellectual vitality, creativity, and collegial spirit of the CPPNJ community.
If you are interested in contributing a post, please contact us at cppnj@cppnj.org for submission guidelines and upcoming publication opportunities.
