This 5-session course will serve as an introduction to psychoanalytic writing. There will be some readings and discussion of published papers on the topic of psychoanalytic writing.
A second intention of the course is to help each candidate or other enrollee write a brief psychoanalytic article or essay. Hopefully these pieces of writing will appear as a special section in the next volume of the MPC Bulletin, as a Writers Workshop.

In this course we will examine various aspects of the termination process in Psychoanalysis, not only as the final stage in the therapeutic work, but also in general as it relates to losses, endings, and death. Analytic and associated writings, as well as clinical material will be used in an effort to examine the anxieties and resistances aroused by termination, and to develop an approach to listening to patients' unconscious communications as a guide through this important process.
