IPA Webinar Series
PEC’s Project "Meeting of Societies on Education” – from oversight to collegial quality enhancement.
Moderator: Ines Vidal
Panellists: Angelika Staehle, Richard Fritsch, and Alfredo Ortiz Frágola.
After the oversight function was recognised as impossible and unproductive, the Psychoanalytic Education Committee developed an innovative process for implementing recommendations of the Task Force on Collegial Quality Enhancement of Training. Society leaders and candidates from three societies exchange local educational philosophies and policies. This represents an innovative means of enhancing understanding and self-reflection within and between institutes. One goal of the encounters is to exchange information about elements of training so that societies can learn from each other and reflect on their own ways of organising. A second goal is to appreciate that different training models can be employed to effectively and responsibly educate the next generation of psychoanalysts. During this webinar, the method and results of the initial pilot encounters are presented and discussed by our three panellists, Angelika Staehle, Richard Fritsch, and Alfredo Ortiz Frágola.
