The following are readings from the PINE, now PPSNE, Discussion Group for the years 2021-2022, 2022-2023.
The discussion group consists of PINE (now PPSNE) members and is facilitated by Cathy Loula, M.D. We have chosen for the last two years to invite members and outside guests to present topics of their interests, a paper of theirs in progress, or lead discussions of particular papers on race and the social unconscious, sexual development, field theory, Winnicott, and others, with a focus on their clinical applications.
