Experience in institutions earlier in one's career informs work with psychotic patients in analytic practice. The author remembers the influence of Winnicott's work on understanding how institutions function. This is enhanced by a correspondence with Joel Kanter from Maryland and his unique experience in bringing the institution to the community.
