This panel will take up an issue in psychoanalytic treatment that is little discussed – the interminable analysis.  This refers to analysis without end: treatment that continues for many years, often 20 or more years with no termination date set and, not infrequently, no termination contemplated by patient or analyst.
The panel of four analysts, Drs. Philip Herschenfeld and Edith McNutt from the New York Psychoanalytic Institute and Drs. Harold Blum and Claudia Lament from IPE, will present their views on this complex, clinically and theoretically important issue in response to questions posed by the moderator, Dr. Theodore Jacobs.
