THE CAPS EXPERIENCE

Collaboration among psychoanalysts takes many forms. Easiest to recognize is the co-authored article describing the efforts of two or more colleagues to report their shared clinical observations and advance a jointly evolved hypothesis. However, other modes of collaboration also play a very important role in the professional life of individual analysts and in the development of psychoanalysis as a discipline.
A certain kind of collaboration occurs among members of the profession even as they attend and participate in scientific meetings. However passive it may seem, a functional and professionally beneficial collaboration can be formed between an author and those who attend critically to his or her presentations at meetings and in the published literature . . .
