Presented by: Dr. Kathleen Fitzgerald, PsyD, MFT, Training and Supervising Analyst.

In this Saturday Salon, Dr. Kathleen Fitzgerald invites participants into an intimate exploration of a 10-year analytic relationship reframed through an unexpected reversal as the analyst’s mind is slowly overtaken by dementia. Through a series of vivid clinical and relational moments, she reflects on the unfolding experience of remaining in analytic dialogue while the analyst’s capacity for coherence becomes increasingly compromised.

This experience both challenges and illuminates the foundations of psychoanalytic work. Together, participants are invited to explore vulnerability, asymmetry, and the deeply human dimensions of analytic work.
