Gedanken über die misslingende Generativität an psychoanalytischen Instituten.

For some time now, a blatant shortage of training analysts has been observed in the German Psychoanalytical Society (DPG) and many other psychoanalytical societies, which threatens psychoanalytical training and could make it impossible in the long term. Apparently, there is a phenomenon that can be observed worldwide that younger colleagues are critical or even negative about working as training analysts. Why is it so difficult to interest and inspire young analysts to become training analysts? We were commissioned to give a group lecture that would address the question of why generative transmission fails and what could be causing the phenomenon of missing training analysts. The lecture was presented as a group lecture at the Training Analysts Conference of the DPG, which took place online at the beginning of 2024. The speakers came from various DPG institutes spread across the whole of Germany. For confidentiality reasons, we decided to write as a group and to mix our personal contributions so that they can no longer be individually assigned. We see the following text as a contribution to an urgently needed debate that we would like to stimulate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
