Mira Erlich-Ginor - "Social Closeness at a Time of Social Distancing”.

In this episode, Kerry Sulkowicz interviews Mira Erlich-Ginor about a unique experience realized during the time of COVID-19: a WhatsApp group of Israel Psychanalytic Society members that became a lively meeting place, evidence of the well-timed response to an existing need, and a series of Zoom meetings dedicated to working intensively on dreams, in the model of the Social Dreaming Matrix.
