RU387: IRIS HEFETS & AVGI SAKETOPOULOU ON RESIGNING FROM THE INTERNATIONAL PSYCHOANALYTICAL ASSOCIATION (IPA) https://renderingunconscious.substack.com/p/ru387-iris-hefets-and-avgi-saketopoulou Rendering Unconscious episode 387. On this episode, Avgi and Iris discuss their experiences with, criticisms of, and ultimately resignation from the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA). This conversation highlights the German Psychoanalytic Association’s historical ties to Nazi Germany and the IPA’s problematic stance concerning global political issues, particularly the genocide in Palestine. Both Iris and Avgi emphasize the need for psychoanalysis to address political realities and call for resignations from the IPA to challenge its claim of neutrality and liberal tokenism, ultimately advocating for a more radical and politically engaged psychoanalytic practice.
