Jeremy Safran was a unique voice in our field. He exemplified the integration of diverse kinds of scholarship, clinical practice, and spiritual sensibilities. If psychoanalysis as a field is to survive and evolve, it behooves us to make the kinds of integrations that Prof. Safran did as an individual. This article examines our professional present and future, encompassing 3 meanings of the term psychoanalysis: as a specific type of treatment, as a knowledge base, and as an ethos, with emphasis on the last area. Psychoanalysis is conceptualized as part of a greater wisdom tradition. Suggestions are made about how we may preserve psychoanalytic practice, psychoanalytically oriented research, accumulated psychoanalytic knowledge, psychoanalytic values, and psychoanalytic wisdom.
