Saturday, May 3, 2014 * 10:30 am – 1:00 pm
NPAP Meeting Room
40 W 13 Street, New York City * Buzzer 216
“The uncanny is that class of the frightening which leads back to what is known of old and long familiar” (Sigmund Freud, 1919).
How is it possible, and under what circumstances, for something that was once familiar to become uncanny? What are the literary sources that made S. Freud’s uncanny possible? What is the link between the uncanny and other concepts of his metapsychology? How do different schools of psychoanalytic thought view “The Uncanny” today, inside and outside of the consulting room?

Carl Jacobs, D. Sc., L.P. * Jane Kupersmidt, Ph.D., LCSW, FIPA *
