Lacanian Clinical Practice, Dream, Symptom, Fantasy: a Clinical Cases Seminar
Faculty
About
The logic and experience of this seminar proposes and assumes a methodology and a praxis: our reading of Freud focuses on the ways in which Lacan’s teaching in his seminar and writing in the Écrits transmits a savoir that orients clinical practice insofar as it welcomes the dream, symptom and unconscious formations as they break through as representative of a censored unconscious. We begin with the question of how the position of the analyst in Lacanian clinical practice creates a frame for the work of the unconscious as it manifests in the speech of the analysand.
As participants in the seminar present their cases, our work will be oriented by moments in which unconscious formations make a rupture in the ego’s discourse, and articulate the position of the subject of the unconscious in relation to desire and jouissance.
