INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM OF CONVERGENCIA: LACANIAN MOVEMENT FOR THE FREUDIAN PSYCHOANALYSIS Borders: Psychoanalysis and Displacements Friday, June 25 — Saturday, June 26, 2021 9:00 am – 2:00 pm EDT United States and Canada (UTC-4) via Zoom
Registration information to come.
The notion of border concerns psychoanalysis because it articulates the particular topological space that the subject inhabits as a result of its structural division by language: in between signifiers, between truth and knowledge, between jouissance and knowledge and between speech and letter. Among these terms is possible to establish differences, frontiers, but also littorals, displacements and passages that might be fruitful to the function of the subject.

On the other hand, the constitution of borders as political-juridical delimitations often leads to the institution of new forms of segregation that today impact the social link. What can psychoanalysis contribute today to the question of borders?

The Psychoanalytic Fellowship at NYPSI

By Tamar SchwartzMay 27, 2021May 27, 2021 EVENTS

THE PSYCHOANALYTIC FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM Navah C. Kaplan, Ph.D. Director

The Psychoanalytic Fellowship is a free, one-year program at the New York Psychoanalytic Society & Institute designed to introduce participants to modern psychoanalytic theory and practice. Fellows attend seminars twice per month. In one seminar, invited analysts from our faculty present analytic case material and join the class discussion of the case. In the other seminar, discussion and readings are used to teach psychoanalytic principles that inform current expertise in psychoanalysis as a form of therapy, psychoanalysis as a model of how the mind works, and psychoanalysis as a method of investigating clinical data. Students will meet over ZOOM until the Institute administration allows for meeting in person.

Application to the Fellowship is open to candidates earning doctoral degrees in psychology and social work, residents and fellows in psychiatry, and licensed clinical social workers currently pursuing advanced training or experience in psychotherapy. July 15, 2021 is the deadline for applying for the academic year October 2021 – April 2022.

Interested persons should contact Dr. Navah Kaplan at navahckaplan@gmail.com to arrange a brief phone interview.

On Voluntary Servitude Paola Mieli With the participation of Raffaella Colombo online with Après-Coup

By Tamar SchwartzApril 28, 2021April 28, 2021 EVENTS

SEMINAR: On Voluntary Servitude Paola Mieli With the participation of Raffaella Colombo Saturday, May 8th, 2021 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM (EST)
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 May 8th: Xenophon, Hiero (c 430-354 BC); Etienne de la Boétie (1530-1563), The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude; S. Freud, Group Psychology and Analysis of the Ego (1921); L. Strauss, On Tyranny, chapter IV (1948).Paola Mieli is a psychoanalyst practicing in New York City. She is the president of Après-Coup Psychoanalytic Association (New York), a member of Le Cercle Freudien (Paris), of Espace Analytique (Paris), and of the section of Psychoanalysis in Psychiatry of the World Psychiatry Association (WPA). She is the author of numerous essays on psychoanalysis Continue reading On Voluntary Servitude Paola Mieli With the participation of Raffaella Colombo online with Après-Coup
