As everyone is well aware, we are in the midst of an unfolding pandemic. Each of us is affected, and though we have all had to make significant (perhaps lasting) changes in our personal and professional lives, in truth, as I write this the outcomes for each and every one of us are changing and our experiences vary. Illness, death, vigilance, complacency, boredom—these are some of the facts of life for many of us as citizens. As clinicians and psychoanalysts, we have other responsibilities as well. In future issues of JAPA we will feature writing on Covid-19 and clinical practice from a variety of settings (both in and beyond the United States), including, especially, the inevitable reframings of therapeutic purpose and the values that underwrite what it is we do and why we do it.

众所周知，我们正处于一场流行病之中。我们每个人都受到影响，尽管我们所有人都必须在个人和职业生活中做出重大（也许是持久的）改变，但实际上，在我撰写本文时，我们每个人的成果都在变化，我们的经历也在变化。疾病，死亡，警惕，自满，无聊-这些是我们许多公民生活中的一些事实。作为临床医生和心理分析人员，我们还有其他责任。在JAPA的未来版本中，我们将着重介绍Covid-19和来自各种背景（在美国和美国以外）的临床实践，尤其包括不可避免地重新定义治疗目的以及支持我们的价值观的内容。以及我们为什么这样做。
