ABOUT THE SERIES

The Not-Me Speaker Series is a new offering from the Institute’s psychoanalytic training program candidates who make up the Harry Stack Sullivan Society, who hope to foster constructive dialogues around difficult and potentially polarizing topics relevant to the contemporary practice of psychoanalysis. The series was conceived as a direct response to the bevy of candidates, past and present, who have been eagerly searching for an arena in which to address the challenges and diverse community needs of their patients.

This series is presented at no charge to its audience. Please consider making a donation to The Harry Stack Sullivan Society.
