Ukrainian Psychoanalytic Union is a public organization that supports and promotes the development of psychoanalysts while creating a space for professional growth.
We consciously build a format in which not only the voices of experienced professionals are heard, but where young specialists also have a real opportunity to present themselves, share ideas, and contribute to contemporary psychoanalysis.

Each conference is a space where meanings are born, professional identity is shaped, and support is found within the community.

• the desire to live in conditions of uncertainty
• working with trauma and resilience
