Activities for 2007-2008

The Lacanian Psychoanalytic Experience:
Two Clinical Days

Harvard Graduate School of Education
Gutman Conference Center, Gutman Library, 6 Appian Way
Cambridge MA 02138

With clinical, scholarly, and aesthetic presentation by members of the Psychoanalytic Circles of the Freudian School of Québec combined with teaching and discussion led by GIFRIC teaching analysts Willy Apollon, Danielle Bergeron and Lucie Cantin.

The clinical conference is open to clinicians, scholars, and artists with an interest in Freud and Lacanian psychoanalysis.

Learning Objectives:

1) Distinguish between the unconscious and the not conscious;

2) Describe how the unconscious ruptures the ego narrative and, in doing so, introduces another logic that is related to the dream and its savoir or knowing;
