Die Boomer nehmen Abschied. Wer zwischen 1955 und 1970 in der Zeit der geburtenstarken Jahrgänge zur Welt gekommen ist, hat den Ruhestand erreicht oder zählt zu den Älteren, die nach und nach ihre Posten freimachen.

Sem isso, a prática clínica— como conhecemos hoje — seria inviável, e Freud teria sido incapaz de teorizar sobre o inconsciente, a sexualidade e os sonhos.
