Episode Description:\\xa0We begin by discussing the origins of the book\\xa0Dear Candidate\\xa0which consists of 42 letters written by senior analysts\\xa0from around the world\\xa0to candidates in training. Notable is the enthusiasm, wisdom, affection, and encouragement that the older generation conveys to the future generation of psychoanalysts. Fred and I each read to each other favorite paragraphs from selected letters that\\xa0emphasize\\xa0valuing international input into one\'s clinical thinking; tolerating uncertainty; recognizing one\'s place in the social/political arena; addressing the literal and fantasy-driven physicality of the\\xa0work, and\\xa0acknowledging all that it means to be an aging analyst. Fred shares with us his own journey of learning and the importance to him of having had teachers who made a difference in his life.\\xa0
