About the Barnes Collection
IFPE generates an annual conference to provide a forum for interpretive encounters with the varying discourses of psychoanalysis: clinical, academic, artistic, literary, philosophical, scientific, experiential, and more. Such encounters constitute the core of what is psychoanalytic education. In the dialogic structure of the interdisciplinary conference, IFPE seeks to create an alive conference-space in which each person can evolve.
