Who We Are
What is Psychoanalytic Inquiry
Psychoanalytic Inquiry remains unique among psychoanalytic journals in that we aim to provide a truly big tent, broadcasting ideas from many schools. Each issue is organized around a theme and edited by a guest issue editor who invites papers from multiple perspectives. Our mission is to publish rigorous, original papers on topics insufficiently explored elsewhere or of the immediate moment.
Media Programs
Connections and Conversations
Connections and Conversation created and hosted by Shir Shanun, Psy.D. is a psychoanalytic open space for cultivating creativity and freedom of thought and feeling in a free Zoom meeting. We invite you to engage with our presenters and community as they share their interests and passions in conversation on current topics in psychoanalysis. Please see our calendar of events. The meeting often begins with a 45 minute presentation followed by 45 minutes of conversation. When an event is recorded you can access the recording at the vault.
This series is open to all.

Decentralized Learning Experiences
Decentralized Learning Experiences is a new democratic program sponsored by Psychoanalytic Inquiry, offering informal “learning experiences” in a variety of formats.
What is a learning experience?
A learning experience can be almost anything, and any licensed clinician can propose one. It can be about a paper, a book, or a movie. It can tackle an idea, such as field theory or dream analysis, or focus on the work of a theorist. The format can be didactic or it can be a leaderless seminar or a one-hour conversation. It can be a one-off event or a series of weekly, biweekly, or monthly meetings. Currently, this program is in its pilot stage, so certain limits may apply.
