Panel Discussion: Sadeq Rahimi, PhD, Manual Harpin, MA, Jean Claude Noel, MS, MA

The Psychoanalysis, Society and Culture program at the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis (BGSP), seeks to realize the mission of BGSP: “to provide a deep understanding of human nature.” Combining psychoanalysis with sociological and cultural studies, it provides a valuable perspective on current and historical social and psychological issues as well as on the development of psychoanalysis itself. This event presents important applications to research, administration and clinical work in a variety of settings.
