IPA Webinars 2022
On the 4th IPA Asia-Pacific Conference
Recognising diversity and differences on a personal and cultural level are the values that give meaning to the
4th IPA Asia-Pacific Conference. Recent traumatic experiences have reshaped our social interaction and psychic phenomena. In this webinar, two colleagues -who will participate in the Conference- will discuss psychoanalysis in this current scenario.

Title: Unitary or Unity; Divisiveness or Diversity
Unity and Diversity complement each other and are progressive and growth-promoting. On the other hand, to be Unitary or Divisive is a process of isolation and fragmentation. This holds at external and internal levels of object relations. This process grows from the nucleus of the earliest primary relationship and can shape subsequent personal experiences.
