APPLYING LACANIAN CONCEPTS IN PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY

SYNOPSIS: This eight-week course will enable participants to understand key psychoanalytic and philosophical concepts from the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, with a special emphasis on their clinical applications.

MATERIALS: Participants will receive a pdf document, via email, that will contain all the readings for the course.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES: By the end of this CPA-OPD-approved event, participants will be able to:

• Utilize the concept of the ego versus the self when providing interpretations to patients.

• Apply the mirror stage when working with identity disturbances, including patients with dissociative identity disorder (DID).

• Alter interventions with traumatized patients by understanding how any unexpected encounter with the Real creates unbearable anxiety.

• Lessen patients’ inhibitions and thereby increase their personal freedom by applying the concept of the Big Other.

• Address patients’ problems with either low or excessive motivation by understanding the nature of Desire.
