The configurations of couples and families are in constant transformation, influenced by socioeconomic, cultural, and technological factors in different societies. Traditional family models coexist with a diversity of living arrangements, such as single-parent families, blended families, and same-sex families. These changes pose new challenges for psychoanalysis, a discipline rooted in understanding the unconscious in human relationships and in the group structures of couples and families.
The congress offers an opportunity to discuss these topics, share advances and reflections, and highlight the importance of psychoanalysis in understanding and clinically addressing new family and couple dynamics. At the same time, it underscores the need to contribute to and advance this discipline in the face of contemporary evolutions.
