Venue: Hungarian Psychoanalytical Society

A unique continuation of the conference

The Sunday workshop has been designed as a natural continuation of Howard B. Levine's plenary lecture at the Budapest Psychoanalytic Conference.

Please note that the second part of Howard B. Levine's plenary presentation will be delivered exclusively during the Sunday workshop and will not be part of the main conference programme.

In addition to this unique continuation of the plenary lecture, the workshop offers an opportunity for in-depth dialogue and clinical reflection in a smaller, interactive setting.
