The author, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal, referring to an extended conception of the mind, articulated between somatic and cultural dimensions, reflects on what the training needs for the psychoanalytic psychotherapist of the twenty-first centu-ry are. He proposes that the latter should be able to pass through this multi-layered complexity. He then briefly illustrates the contents of this booklet by highlighting three main nuclei: the theme dedicated to addictions without substance, the reflec-tion on the Fiesole Experiential Workshop and the challenge of multiculturality.
