A MESSAGE FROM THE CO-CHAIRS

Our upcoming 17th annual IARPP conference will revolve around “Imagination”. "In a very broad sense psychopathology can be considered as a failure of imagination" (Stephen Mitchell, 1993). We will focus on how to keep imagination alive, vital, passionate and creative, what imagination contributes to our lives and what constitutes a failure of imagination for individuals and for society.

We will explore the differences between imagination and lies, between imagination and faulty reality-testing, between imagination and messianism, prophecy, unconscious phantasy, escapism and illusions. Together, we will try to focus on the difference between imagination, dreaming, and thinking. And we will ask ourselves whether imagining can become dangerous - to the self, to the other, to society.

This year's conference will be held in Tel-Aviv, Israel. We would therefore like to explore the dialectics of imagining with eyes wide open in the complex political reality of this country and region of the world. How can we continue to imagine and yet remain open-eyed? Can there be change without imagination? Can we imagine the "Other" and see their suffering?

From the Relational perspective, we may wonder about the place of imagination in the analyst’s mind and its role in states of threat or pain. Related, we need to ask what imagination’s role is in the therapeutic process, when does it elude us, when is it indispensable and when is it intolerable? Do we need an "Other" in order to imagine? Under what conditions does the Other’s gaze at the process of imagination enhance our ability to imagine or inhibit it?

We invite you to come to Tel Aviv and imagine with us, with eyes wide open. Steven Kuchuck, DSW Ilana Laor, PhD Dan Friedlander, MA Tami Dror-Schieber, MA
