Psychoanalytic theories and techniques: Dialogue, difficulties and future – Papers from the XXIInd IFPS Forum, Madrid, October 19–22, 2022.

What a huge relief and what great joy for all of us to be able to meet again in person after the two and a half years that had elapsed since the XXIst International Federation of Psychoanalytic Societies (IFPS) Forum held in Lisbon on February 5-8, 2020, with the beginning of the pandemic lockdown only about one month later! I enjoyed the very high quality of Juan Rodado's clinical work, the epistemological sophistication of Professor Rodríguez Sutil (see also Rodríguez Sutil, [12]), and the good articulation of clinical and epistemological aspects in the paper by Romulo Aguillaume. The Forum was also meant to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the foundation of IFPS (in Amsterdam on July 30, 1962), one of the topics of the historical panel that took place on the Friday morning. This featured two parallel panels, one central panel, and two final parallel panels. [Extracted from the article]
