● IPA Committee on Psychoanalytic Assistance in Crises and Emergencies - PACE
TURKEY • The 2023 earthquake in Turkey caused widespread destruction, leaving thousands of victims and displaced families and generating significant psychological impact on affected communities. • PACE established contact with psychoanalytic societies in Istanbul, sharing resources on psychoanalytic work in crisis situations and organizing Work Discussion and Reflection Groups for candidates. • These spaces support reflection on clinical experiences after the disaster and have inspired a small local initiative based on the PACE model.
