ARGUMENT HONORING RENÉ KAES

Issue 34 of our journal – which is due to appear on the website next July – will be dedicated to honoring the memory of our dear teacher René Kaës, who passed away on February 1st of this year.

He was a teacher, guide, friend, offering us his ideas, his clinical experience, his theories validated by rigorous observations, and the main theorist in France on group psychoanalysis.

In this issue, we want to revisit the articles he himself sent us for publication, which appeared in different years and volumes since the journal’s founding, but we also make space for new articles written by colleagues who knew him well and with whom he had a personal and lasting friendship.

The various sections of the journal: book reviews, dictionary, interviews, conferences, will also be dedicated to disseminating his words, and by exploring them, we will be able to continue reflecting on his ideas and remembering him in his affable, approachable, and dialogue-ready
persona.

Our journal and all the colleagues who work on it feel honored to know him so present.

We invite readers to explore his writings, imagining his voice.
