In this presentation, he will be talking about his last two books – Sigmund Freud’s Letters (Modan, 2019) and Talking Cure – 13 Talks on Psychoanalysis (Brandes & Apsel, 2023).  While presenting his recent work he will put into focus the idea of a psychoanalytic worldview that he has been exploring for the past years both historically and theoretically.
