Description

About the conference

This online conference will explore the potential of reintegrating the contributions of this Other French school into ‘classical’ psychoanalysis to strengthen and broaden our collective understanding of the human psyche, or after Lacan, the parl’être. Join us to consider Francoise Dolto’s concept of The Castrations, Jean Berges’s model of Transitivism, Charles Melman’s New Psychic Economy and Marcel Czermack on the psychoanalytic treatment of psychoses
