ABSTRACT
Since its beginnings, Psychoanalysis has grown and extended its knowledge but not its reach; it has been less successful working for all people than it has working for a select group of people. In present day, we are beginning to see a change: Psychoanalysis’ proponents, practitioners, and institutes are beginning to bring psychoanalytic self and work into spaces where it has been less accessible. This paper highlights the need to bring the generative betweenness that emerges in a successful psychoanalytic treatment, between analyst and analysand, to diverse groups of people and to inter-group relationships within society and outside of it, including those living in the Meantime.
