Established in 1990, the Annual Day in Psychoanalysis
has become an important event in the education calendar
of Toronto's community of mental health professionals.
With the growing interest not only in clinical psychoanalysis,
but in the wider application of psychoanalytic ideas
to philosophy, history, and language, the Annual
Day in Psychoanalysis seeks to reach a broad clinical
and academic audience interested in the full spectrum
of psychoanalytic thought.
