*CFP:** Psychoanalysis in Our Time **2018 –** Psychoanalysis**, Nationalism and Ideology, Sopot/Gdansk, Poland, 5**^th **-7**^th ** October 2018* Now in its fifth year – and following the great success of sessions across Europe – the Psychoanalysis in Our Time research network is delighted to announce the call for papers for our next event, which will take place in association with the University of Gdansk, Poland from 5^th  to 7^th  October 2018.
