Psychoanalyst IPA/SSpsa, Full Member
“Psychoanalysis is not a ready-made way of thinking. It opens up new possibilities of thinking about oneself, about one's relationships with others and the world, to emerge, this quest for self, enriched by its discoveries, requires commitment and regularity. The process may be more or less long, surprising, sometimes painful, but it is profoundly human and alive.” Valérie Ji-Sook Burnet.
