Multifamily Psychoanalysis Conference
Confirmed

International Conference on Multifamily Psychoanalysis
October 31 and November 1, 2025
Bilingual event conducted in both English and Spanish, in-person and on line, allowing for a diverse range of participants.

Multifamily Psychoanalysis has been successfully implemented in various European and Latin American countries, proving particularly effective in addressing severe patients beyond neuroses, as well as tackling community issues, social taumas, and war related traumas. We believe that this conference will offer valuable insights and practices for professionals in the field.

Listening in GROUPS
Conversation sessions on the contributions of multifamily psychoanalysis

The purpose of this meeting is to open a space for conversation, collective thinking, and transmission around the multifamily psychoanalytic device, a practice that has demonstrated its clinical and transformative power in contexts such as current clinical practice, whether institutional or private, in the field of education, and in private practice.

Since its inception, multifamily psychoanalysis has focused on experience, speech, and connection, understanding symptoms as manifestations of unrepresented emotions. By bringing together multiple subjects—patients, family members, professionals—in the same listening environment, the multifamily device enables a group dynamic where the singular is linked to shared experiences.

This modality favours the approach to complexity, the unfolding of resonances, cross-identifications and subjective openings that often do not take place in individual or traditional devices.

In times when social ties are fragmented and clinical practice faces complex challenges, the multifamily approach offers a valuable tool: shared, pluralistic listening that does not attempt to close off meaning, but rather to accommodate the words of others in their difference.

These conferences are intended to be a space for horizontal exchange between professionals, students, and work teams interested in collectively reflecting on the theoretical, technical, and ethical contributions of this practice. Various clinical experiences, conceptual foundations, and the implications of enabling a space where ‘listening in a group’ is also building community will be addressed.
