Hi! I was happy to hear from you and I liked your idea. We can use the forum for that purpose. I can also leave my e-mail address here for everyone interested in the issue. It is maya@sun.medun.acad.bg
May be it's reasonable to say who I am. I am a medical doctor and I work as a psychiatrist in Sofia - Social Psychiatry Ward. My main interest at this point is psychoanalytic psychotherapy with psychotic patients. As you may well guess this is something very awkward to be interested in in our culture. Psychoanalysis was never a part of any education in Bulgaria before the changes in 1989. I am lucky to work at a place where most staff is dynamically oriented and I am able to get support from my colleagues, but basically we are all kind of self-made. We are trying to establish links with the rest of the world which seems to be difficult out of economic reasons. No analyst on earth could come and live here for at least four years for a group of Bulgarians to get a proper training analysis and no institution could pay for that. I can tell you more about what sollutions we have at this point if you are interested and in what peculiar and creative ways I train my so to say "analytic thinking". Best regards, Maya
