In his remarks at the celebration of the Topeka Institute for Psychoanalysis, Dr. Irv Rosen stated that “there will always be a Menninger” as long as it lives in the memories of those who were part of the organization and were touched by it. These memories are not only of people, relationships, and a special place. These are also the memories of the vision, the intellectual ferment, and the moral passion that gave substance, meaning, and direction to the organization. The weekend of remembrance and celebration was filled with the evocation of such memories. Evoking such memories also provides the optimal context to talk about Menninger’s future. In some ways, it is the only context in which such discussion can take place. From a developmental standpoint, individuals can only conceive and represent an achievable future self when they have acquired what E. Erikson (1959) called a sense of “me-ness”—not to be confused with the meanness that is perhaps also necessary to break up the constraints that impede forward development. It is, however, primarily related to the capacity to experience continuity in spite of change—the sense that one changes and yet one remains the same. This sense of “me-ness” is rooted in the individual’s capacity to grasp and identify with the relatively invariant, largely enduring aspects of the self and its circumstances, including the interpersonal and cultural context in which the person is embedded. Thus, when constructing a road map to the future, a person capable of self-continuity will create a future self-representation anchored in the self’s authentic traits, features, attitudes, values, and opportunities.
