When we earnestly reflect on the challenge of addressing issues of race in psychoanalytically-informed practice, we are likely to encounter our own well-defended unconscious biases towards “the other” as well as the perilous resistance of the oppressor within ourselves to examination. This talk, based on organizational cases from contrast contexts, will explore diverse efforts by these client systems to face race. Particular focus will be given to exploration of how the phenomenology of experience contributes to ways we may promote and perpetuate systems of oppression. Implications for training and treatment will be considered.

WORKSHOP  The Act, Specific to Speech Jean-Michel Vappereau Saturday, March 27, 2021 10:30 AM – 2:00 PM (Eastern Daylight Time)
To address the question of “the act of speech” in psychoanalysis, we must return to the terms “act” and “speech” starting from Freud’s discovery and Lacan’s critical commentary on it.  Suggested reading: “L’Étourdit” (1973), Autres écrits.
