Impasse Redux with Ann Rudovsky & Jules Owen online with CFS
By Categories: EVENTS
PSYCHOANALYTIC BROOKLYN: IMPASSE REDUX  with Ann Rudovsky, LCSW & Jules Owen, SJD, LP  Friday, May 14, 2021 1:30-3:00pm Online via Zoom
 
An impasse is a blind alley, a predicament from which there is no obvious escape. When not worked through, impasses can lead to prolonged stalemates, often with the patient leaving prematurely or being unable to move towards a meaningful termination. The potential for an impasse to emerge is overdetermined: it can both express and conceal a variety of feelings that may be unbearable for the patient to tolerate and for the analyst to work through. Just as both patient and analyst play a role in creating and then perpetuating the impasse, each also feels thwarted, blaming the other for not seeing their point of view.

By Categories: EVENTS

FOUNDATIONS OF PSYCHOANALYSIS:  What Is Speaking?  Alain Vanier  Friday, April 23, 2021 •  6:00 PM – 8:00 PM Saturday, April 24, 2021 •  1:00 PM – 3:00 PM Time Zone: Eastern Daylight Time (US and Canada)
By introducing notions such as lalangue, “saying” (le dire), and “the said” (le dit), Lacan alters, without abandoning, the scope of the function of speech and spoken language as articulated by Freud, albeit in a paradoxical manner which we will explore. 
Suggested readings: Lacan: Seminars XIX, 1971-72, Ou pire; XX, 1972-73, Encore; “Le savoir du psychanalyste” (lectures, 1971-72, Hôpital Sainte- Continue reading FOUNDATIONS OF PSYCHOANALYSIS:  What Is Speaking?  Alain Vanier with Après-Coup

WORKSHOP ON CHILD ANALYSIS: The Child and Language — Catherine Vanier online with Après-Coup

Pablo Picasso, Claude Writing,1951. Oil on Canvas
WORKSHOP ON CHILD ANALYSIS  The Child and Language  Catherine Vanier   Saturday, April 24, 2021 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time
From birth to death human subjects are beings of language. They are immediately taken hold of, taken up with and by the words of the Other, before they’ve even had a chance to speak themselves.
Using clinical examples we will examine how children gain access to the word, and the traumatic consequences that follow, as much in normal conditions of young children’s lives as in psychoanalytic treatments.

On Voluntary Servitude with Paola Mieli at Après-Coup
By Categories: EVENTS

Kazimir Malevich, Female Torso, 1928-9

SEMINAR: On Voluntary Servitude  with Paola Mieli    Saturday, April 17th, 2021 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM (Eastern Daylight Time)
In times like these, as new forms of totalitarianism are taking over everywhere, it’s necessary to reflect on humans’ inherent propensity to take joy in their own servitude. Returning to Freud’s and Lacan’s articulations of the subject of language and the social link, and that subject’s passion for ignorance, the seminar will explore the nature of the drive, masochism, and the ways the superego dictates the law one abides by. Psychoanalytic ethics can open a breach out of subjective servitude.
Suggested readings for April 17: Etienne de la Boétie (1530-1563), The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude; S. Freud, Group Psychology and Analysis of the Ego (1921), The Ego and the Id, Chapters III and V (1922); H. Kelsen, The Conception of the State and Social Psychology: With Special Reference to Freud’s Group Theory (1922). Continue reading On Voluntary Servitude with Paola Mieli at Après-Coup
