- more and more demands for analysis and analytic training, in our cities but also from people scattered across the country
- a new presence on twitter to join in the conversation
- speaking for my city: an introductory course on psychoanalysis at one hospital for several years; a monthly patient interview at another hospital; regular « Lacanian Workshop » gatherings to brainstorm theoretical, cultural, social issues; psychoanalysis a critical part in the teaching for psychiatry residents (internes) at the medical school; public events at a contemporary arts center reaching over 100 people, covered on the front page of the local paper
We are ready to move faster. Hypomania, you say–ok!
We are doing what we are doing one by one, as in so many ways we always, do but it is time for a semblant here in the US.
