Always a ghost and never an ancestor, the collective mind is haunted by societal losses that are effaced and never mourned. It is the negative of mourning—lost ideals emerging as delusions of grandeur, a stolen destiny, with vengeful needs to reclaim the past glory that never was.
Arthur Leonoff, PhD is a psychologist and a Supervising & Training analyst with the Canadian Psychoanalytic Society, a recipient of the Citation of Merit, and an Honorary member of the American Psychoanalytic Association.
Gordon Yanchyshyn, MD is a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst in private practice. He is a member of the teaching faculty at the Toronto Institute of Psychoanalysis; and a teacher, supervisor and candidate analyst at the Toronto Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis.
With Elizabeth Wallace, MD, psychoanalyst, moderating.
