Clinical Seminar "What makes a psychoanalyst"? with Hilda Fernandez

Rooms: Various @SFU Harbour Centre + Hybrid (details below)

Email: clinicdirectorlacansalon@gmail.com

In this seminar, we will read central texts by Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan that pertain to the question of what makes a psychoanalyst and what inheres a psychoanalytic practice. We will also read contemporary texts to explore, within our present circumstances, the hurdles and opportunities for developing a Freudo-Lacanian practice of psychoanalysis in Vancouver, BC.

This Seminar is primarily for people who have lived experience with psychoanalysis, as analysands and as clinicians, and who are interested in making Freudo-Lacanian psychoanalysis possible as a practice in this region.

Detailed syllabus and readings available after registration. We highly encourage you to attend the first meeting in person.
