IPA Webinar - Enactment: A New Paradigm of Analytic Technique? 
Date: 24 April 2026
Time 4 PM (London time)

This will be a 90-minute live event, including approximately 30 minutes for Q&A following the presentations, allowing the audience to engage directly with both speakers. The format will include one moderator and two panelists.

Theme
In recent decades, the concept of enactment has increasingly entered the dialogue across different psychoanalytic traditions, raising important questions about the limits of interpretation, the role of the analyst’s participation, and the nature of the analytic field. This event invites participants to reflect on whether enactment represents not only a phenomenon to be managed, but a potential paradigm shift in psychoanalytic technique.
