Psychoanalysis in Israel at Après-Coup

Après-Coup Psychoanalytic Association presents Psychoanalysis in Israel:
The Origins of the Freudian Movement in British Palestine (1918-1948)
Guido Liebermann

Monday, April 7, 2014 8:30 pm – 10:30 pm
The School of Visual Arts
136 West 21st Street, Room 415F, New York, NY

Psychoanalytic thought, studied in the Jewish community of British Mandate Palestine from the early 1920s on, inevitably met with a response generally divided between religious disapproval and secularist and socialist receptivity. We will examine its wider integration with the founding, in 1933, of the Palestine Psychoanalytic Society, led by Eitingon and Wulff; and, time permitting, also consider its strong impact, in the future State of Israel, particularly on the kibbutzim.

Guido Liebermann moved from Argentina to Israel at age 17, and at 19 left to study psychoanalysis in France, earning a degree in clinical psychology and a doctorate in the History of Freudian Thought. He has remained in Israel since returning there in 1993, and is currently a practicing psychoanalyst and a Senior Psychologist and Supervisor at the Tel-Aviv Mental Health Hospital. His book La Psychanalyse en Palestine 1918-1948. Aux origines du mouvement analytique israélien, will soon appear in Spanish and in Hebrew.
