Last week we heard from M. Gerard Fromm, PhD, a faculty member in the Erikson Institute for Education and Research of the Austen Riggs Center, and the current president of the International Dialogue Initiative (IDI). Originally a project of the Erikson Institute, the IDI is a group of psychoanalysts, diplomats, academics, lawyers, and other professionals who bring psychologically informed concepts and dialogue to areas of conflict throughout the world. IDI members typically carry out projects independently, sometimes in consultation with other members or organizations. Dr. Fromm provided anecdotes about IDI’s successes in conflict resolution around the world, and noted how IDI’s goals dovetailed nicely with Rotary International’s efforts at peace and conflict resolution.
