The Institute for Clinical Social Work (ICSW) has a distinguished presence at the 45th Annual IAPSP Conference in Rome.
The presence of these accomplished women and men from ICSW in Rome for the IAPSP annual conference holds deep significance, representing both academic achievements and a broader impact within psychoanalytic communities. Yelena Kalinsky and Karl Saffran embody the next generation of thought leaders as recipients of the Early Career Professional Scholarship, illustrating the global importance of early professional contributions to psychoanalysis. Meanwhile, Rebecca Strauss, as Chair of the Welcoming Committee, reflects ICSW’s influence in fostering inclusivity and academic community spirit.
Faculty members Carla Leone, Lynn Borenstein, Judith Aronson, and Karen Bloomberg brought forward critical perspectives on topics ranging from self-psychology in family dynamics to social-psychoanalytic theory, reaffirming ICSW’s foundational role in advancing psychoanalytic thought across cultural and social divides. This collective presence enhances ICSW's reputation as a driving force, not only enriching dialogue in Rome but also strengthening international networks in psychoanalysis.
Congratulations to Yelena Kalinsky, Karl Saffran, Rebecca Strauss, and ICSW's esteemed faculty for their impactful roles at the IAPSP Conference in Rome! Your dedication and insight shine, enriching the international psychoanalytic community and fostering meaningful connections across disciplines and borders. Bravo to each of you for your exceptional achievements and contributions, reflecting ICSW's ongoing legacy of excellence and leadership in psychoanalytic self-psychology. We’re thrilled to see ICSW’s presence celebrated on the global stage—well done!
