This seminar will be the most “clinical” of the seminars in the Lacan Guided Reading Group yet. In it we will read a Lacanian text that is zealously addressed to clinicians situated at the intersection between ego-psychology, object-relation theory, and Lacanian psychoanalysis. We will address the centrality of the unconscious (structured like a language) in the analytic situation, the importance of the Symbolic in the experience of the subject, and its unfolding in speech, the role of desire and, more specifically, the “desire of the analyst” in the direction of the treatment.

We would like to invite you to join us in Sound-Inspired Art Therapy Workshop, an experimental format designed by Nitya Ramchandran, in collaboration with Eufonia Festival and Stillpoint Spaces Berlin.

In this presentation, Stefano Carpani will look into the fall of the Berlin Wall psychoanalytically.

By initially offering a factual account as it unfolded on November 9th, 1989, the talk will take a gradual turn away from the facts of that day, and engage with the concept of the numinous, following Jung, and its influence in the development of history.

Writing often tends to get sidelined in our busy, fast-paced everyday lives. Flow Writing Day is an opportunity to practice focused writing and help your current text project move forward. The facilitated work process allows you to dive deep into your writing, experience the flow, and work towards progress.
