Dear readers,

In the midst of the COVID-19 global health crisis, we are launching a special series in which clinicians can dialogue about their myriad thoughts, feelings, and experiences, both personal and professional. It is our hope that all members of the Manhattan Institute community and the psychoanalytic community at large will make use of the Analysis Now blog as a virtual gathering place, where we can come together to support each other and share our experiences in these uncertain times. We need community now more than ever.

We invite you to use this space in whatever ways will be valuable and nourishing to you. You can send blog posts of up to ~1,000 words (read full submission guidelines here) to Justine Duhr at justinetduhr@gmail.com and Robert Levin at rob@robertlevinlcsw.com. We will be departing from our usual once per month publishing schedule to post your pieces as they come in. You can make a comment of any length in the “Leave a reply” section below any post. Check the box next to “Notify me of new comments to this post by email” to stay up-to-date on the conversation. You can also follow the series without writing in. We will know you are there, listening and digesting, even if you choose to participate silently.

Stay tuned for our first post in the series, in which executive director of the Manhattan Institute’s Trauma Studies Program, Sandra Green, LCSW, shares her perspective.

Stay safe and healthy,

Justine Duhr, MFA, and Robert Levin, LCSW
