SOCIAL DREAM MATRIX
EFPP - European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
Dear delegates and members of the EFPP,
We invite all of you to the Social Dream Matrix on Sunday evening. We are going to conduct the third of the three meetings of Social Dream Matrix (SDM) this coming Sunday, July 26th, 18:00pm London time, 19:00 pm CET and 20:00 Eastern European and Israel time.
Please forward this message to the members of your institutes. I received many emails from members of various institutes in different countries asking me for participating and not knowing about the dates and the time of our SDM meeting.
The Social Dreaming Matrix is therapeutically valuable. The richness of its perspectives, the act of listening to other people’s dreams, the abundance of associations, all help the individual relinquish his/her control and prominence and reach a different kind of depth.
It is apparent that many people are having vivid dreams during the pandemic carrying symbols, meanings and messages from our internal worlds and the collective in relation to the pandemic. We are going to have Social Dream Matrix where we share dreams and our associations to them, making connections where possible. No attempt is made to interpret the dreams for the dreamer. Through listening and responding to the dreams, in terms of how they affect us, we create a network of meanings, bridging the distance which lockdown puts between us. This gives us an opportunity to see how our dreams are bearing witness to the challenging realities of the strange time we are living through. The matrix will run for an hour, after which there will be 30 minutes time for processing, followed by general discussion, no previous experience of a dream matrix is required.

BION AND THOUGHTS TOO DEEP FOR WORDS
Psychoanalysis, Suggestion and the Language of the Unconscious
An online conference with Robert Caper
Friday, 09.04.21 – 19.00h – 21.00h (CET+1)
Saturday, 10.04.21 – 16.00 – 20.30 (CET+1)
What is the difference between psychoanalysis and suggestion? A patient, who is in some distress, makes a sizable investment of time and money in order to come to an authority holding out the promise of a cure. This authority has the prestige of an established professional discipline behind him or her, and may have been recommended to the patient by a trusted friend, family member or professional. The practice itself is unlike anything the patient has experienced in the past, and he or she is asked to give it the benefit of the doubt for some time. All of this sounds like a perfect set up for the practice of suggestion on a patient who is in pain and eager for anything that might bring relief.

MEDEA – Femininity, Motherhood, Love and Hate
Tbilisi, Georgia
The conference MEDEA – Femininity, Motherhood, Love and Hate will take place in Tbilisi, Georgia, October 19-20, 2018. The Committee of Women and Psychoanalysis writes: “We choose this title because “Medea” – from Colchis, today a part of Georgia – as a mythical figure, represents a universal and multifaceted archetype-a symbol and thus is an image of a powerful, omnipotent, pre-oedipal god-mother, is repressed into the unconscious of every female. In this sense the myth of Medea is a part of our intellectual, cultural and symbolic heritage. The overall theme “Medea” covers many COWAP issues: topics related to issues mainly concerning women, but also relations between men and women, masculinity and femininity in modern times, the outside world and its problems, the socio-cultural point of view and the reflection of psychoanalytic concepts.” The conference will host international but also regional speakers to enhance Psychoanalysis and the support of women’s issues in Eastern Europe.
