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

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

Stress online with the Helix Center

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

Impasse Redux with Ann Rudovsky & Jules Owen online with CFS

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.

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-
