Après-Coup PSYCHOANALYTIC ASSOCIATION
Saturday, May 3, 2014
10:30am – 2:00pm
SAVOIR-FAIRE AND TECHNIQUE IN PSYCHOANALYSIS WITH CHILDREN, Workshop on Child Analysis
CATHERINE MATHELIN VANIER
If, as Maud Mannoni said, “psychoanalysis with children is psychoanalysis,” it nonetheless calls for distinct tools: toys and drawings, no couch, and parents at least partially present in sessions. Given this different savoir-faire, should Lacanian child analysts still speak of “technique,” though Lacan abandoned the term?
SUGGESTED READINGS: Lacan, Autres écrits, “Notes sur l’enfant” (1969). Françoise Dolto, Au jeu de désir (Seuil, Points). Catherine Mathelin, The Broken Piano (Other Press).
