Phillips to Avgi: "What do you hate about psychoanalysis?" A rare kind of playful jousting and intellectual flirting between two thoughtful psychoanalysts by @redclinic.bsky.social. Each person always expanding the conversation in new directions. Highly recommend. youtu.be/9RdcWbyP9qM?...

Paul Lippmann develops the notion of dream “conversations” so as to position the therapist as an interlocutor and listener of a patient’s dreams. The point isn't to jettison interpretation but to “help create the conditions from which interpretations will show themselves if they wish.”

"Public discussions of hope tend to disavow our ambivalence about it, as though hope were an unalloyed good and the sole issue is whether it’s available. But the reality on the ground (and in therapy offices) suggests otherwise." www.ambreassociates.com/blog/sustain...

I think this essay by Winnicott helps get at his particular version of psychoanalysis. He describes both a personal movement *from* pediatrics *to* psychiatry, as well as a vocational self-understanding of his own disciplinary practice as taking place *between* pediatrics and psychiatry.
