The author traces a current crisis in psychoanalysis to its inwardness and insularity, which have left it insufficiently progressive in relation to cultural shifts. We must more expansively open ourselves to contemporary cultural influences and connect inclusively with wide-ranging therapeutic approaches and intercultural disciplines—the arts, humanities, and sciences. This outward-leaning orientation opens psychoanalysis to interdisciplinarity, broadens its methodological integration, and promotes its growth by positioning it in the current of progress of a variety of other disciplines and psychotherapeutic schools.
