Editorial Notes

On Freedom and Connection

Our Spring 2025 issue theme invites reflecting  “On Freedom.” In this issue, our contributors grappled with the subtleties around what it means to be free or not. Our submissions, like always, took up this issue through varied lenses, exploring inner, collective, social, and political freedom.

Editorial Notes

Freedom is part of us

In the last few years we faced the fear of dying due to the Covid virus. We lived in a state of uncertainty. We changed our clinical practice from the office to Zoom. Everything changed very fast. For instance, most of the clinicians who were in my building  moved away.

Presidents Remarks

On Freedom

While writing the paper Who is Free to Free Associate: Psychoanalysis and Social Ethics (2025), I became interested in exploring freedom and its related ethical dimensions–not as a possession or endpoint but as a kind of ongoing, relational endeavor.

Michael Windholz Remembrance

I first met Michael when we had offices on the same corridor at Langley Porter. I think it was 1979, and I introduced myself since he seemed like one of the good, cool guys, and he was gracious whenever I bummed cigarettes from him.
