Dear readers,

It’s hard to believe it’s been over five years since I’ve created this website, partly as a way of coping with COVID isolation, partly, as a way of connecting with like-minded folx around psychoanalysis and social justice.

At first, the name of the website seemed redundant: shouldn’t the practice and theory of psychoanalysis go hand-in-hand with the pursuit of social justice? Unfortunately, this is not the case. This project, was borne out of the need to insist in that connection.

At the time I started this website, I was an immigrant from Uruguay, freshly out of a post-graduate program in NYC and starting my private practice in Manhattan. Five years later, I am writing this post from Uruguay, my homeland, where I have decided to return, partly by choice, partly by seeking refuge from an authoritarian regime.

Through this website, I remain connected with people across the world, participate in on-line and in person events, and hear about the inspiring work some of you are engaging in.

Last month, one of our readers generously covered the WordPress​.​com subscription renewal cost of $109. Which will be good until August 3, 2027. Your support is very much appreciated. This website has always been a labor of love (and rage) and will continue to be.
