Social Justice: Our Statements of Support

We unequivocally condemn the ongoing genocide of Palestinian people via deliberate starvation, forced displacement, and mass killing.

We condemn the targeted death of children.

We support the Israeli soldiers and citizens who are also being punished and condemned for their resistance.

We advocate that mental health organizations and practitioners publicly denounce this genocide and the U.S. military support of the final solution in Gaza.

We urge our community to reflect on the institutional silence that has blocked responses to genocide historically and in the current era. Silence is a form of accepting human extermination as a norm.

We are compelled to transform psychoanalytic training to address the transgenerational impact of mass murder at the intrapsychic and social levels, beginning with a review of the fundamental values of psychoanalysis.

The Newport Psychoanalytic Institute firmly supports all programs and initiatives that advocate for the rights and freedoms of the transgender community and all LGBTQIA+ individuals. We recognize the vital importance of open discussion and research surrounding all aspects and expressions of the human and social condition. We also uphold the right of institutions and groups to assemble and engage in dialogue on any topic without fear of reprisal or censure. In fostering an environment of inclusivity and open inquiry, we contribute to a richer understanding of diverse experiences and perspectives.
