Welcome to Issue 46 of The Letter, Irish Journal for Lacanian Psychoanalysis.
 
Excerpt from the Editorial:
 
"Our Study Day this Spring became the second such occasion1 when a dialogue took place at St Vincent‟s University Hospital between psychoanalysts and psychiatrists. The subject of our dialogue was the challenge we face in the treatment of bipolar affective disorder. Borrowing from the programme literature, it was expected that both groupings would offer rich, robust and relevant perspectives on this disabling condition. This proved to be the case. A spirit of willing and generous engagement was displayed among colleagues with sincerely held positions, some differing, some in accord, but all committed to the advancement of an exchange of views, questions and concerns on a complex and troubling subject.
 
The proceedings were opened by Noel Walsh, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry in University College Dublin and St Vincent‟s University Hospital, Dublin who, along with myself and Dr Mary Darby, former Consultant Psychiatrist at SVUH formed the Organising Committee for the event."
