The Non-rapport, The Psychoanalyst in the institution Workshop 1

Please note that this event is a hybrid and in-person event. There is a limited number of tickets available to attend in-person. Allocation is decided on a first come first served basis. In person ticket allows for participation in the launch of the APPI's Rebus magazine.

This workshop is aimed at discussions with scholars, clinicians, students and new graduates, on the place of the psychoanalysts’ knowledge in institutions. What about the analyst’s discourse and its presence within institutions such as the government, accreditation bodies such as APPI/ICP, hospitals, universities and multidisciplinary teams? Lacan in his preface to the English edition of Seminar XI says that “For no one can call anyone an analyst and Freud did not do so. Handing out rings to initiates is not to call by a name. Hence my proposition that the analyst historizes only from himself: a patent fact. Even if he is confirmed in doing so by a hierarchy.”
