"Psychoanalysis is a translation of what I call in Spanish, Psicoanalisis Criollo, which means that we are hybrid cultures in Latin America, and that is something that we should never forget. We have been acting in the Psychoanalytical Society for so long as if we were living in some big modern city of the first world, like London, Paris, San Francisco, New York.\\xa0 I think that this ignoring or even denial of the fact that we are not there, we live in societies which are in many ways different than societies from the first world and we have to take that into account."\\xa0\\xa0

Episode Description: We begin with a description of \\u2018Psicoanalisis Criollo\\xa0 - hybrid psychoanalysis,\\u2019 "psychoanalysis by and for Latin Americans." We discuss the ways that the analyst\\u2019s awareness of cultural factors impacts the clinical approach to deepening the patient\\u2019s self-awareness. Jorge presents vignettes where the appearance of socially defined similarities and differences were important elements to address in the treatment. He highlights the delicacy of our culturally colored countertransferences. He shares with us details about his 28-year weekly newspaper column as well as his 330,000 Twitter followers (@jotabruce). We close with his recounting his early history and its contribution to his current interests.\\xa0\\xa0
