Stress: Saturday 2:30 PM EST 1 May 2021. DUE TO COVID-19 THIS ROUNDTABLE WILL BE VIRTUAL WEBINAR STARTS 2:30PM EST ON 5/1
LINK TO REGISTER & YOUTUBE TBA A testament to its ubiquity, STRESS is woven into our very words, our thoughts and our emotions. We stress words to give them emphasis. We stress wood to make it stronger rather than splinter. And we feel distress, both when overwhelmed with dread, but also sometimes in joyous anticipation.
The chase creates stress. Loss and failure create stress. Even attaining the prize, whether chosen or befallen, can also deliver stress, and plenty, along with its winnings.
Change often means stress. Stress is the white noise of life, whether we perceive it or somehow manage to habituate to it.
Of late our culture has grown more attuned to the semiotics of stress, as it expresses itself in our brains and guts, our minds and bodies, our spirit and imagination. When it derives from a goal achieved, it may serve as fuel. But, with a pain inflicted, when choice is not possible, when we are the object Continue reading Stress online with the Helix Center

FOUNDATIONS OF PSYCHOANALYSIS: What Is Speaking? Alain Vanier with Après-Coup
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. Continue reading WORKSHOP ON CHILD ANALYSIS: The Child and Language — Catherine Vanier online with Après-Coup
On Voluntary Servitude with Paola Mieli at Après-Coup
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
