IPA Webinar "Honouring the Life and Legacy of Horacio Etchegoyen (1919-2016)"

Ten years after his passing, we gather to celebrate the indelible mark left by Dr. Horacio Etchegoyen, former President of the IPA and a fundamental pillar of our community. This webinar invites an intimate encounter to remember a man who dedicated his life to psychoanalysis and to the institution. The event will feature the participation of former IPA Presidents, who will reflect on the many facets of his figure: the rigour of the psychoanalyst, the Maestro, the warmth of the person, and the loyalty of the friend. It also offers a necessary space to consider how his thinking continues to engage in dialogue with the challenges of contemporary psychoanalysis.
