Après-Coup Psychoanalytic Association presents
WORKSHOP ON CHILD ANALYSIS
Child, Victim, Subject
Angelo Villa
Saturday, June 20, 2015
10:30 am–1:30 pm
The School of Visual Arts
136 West 21st Street, New York, NY
The problems of child abuse require the analyst to direct treatment from an ethical as well as a clinical standpoint. The compass to guide us must always be the young patient’s subjectivity, but we also need to assess what goes on in a disordered family environment and the consequences of the interventions regulated by the law.
Suggested Readings: Freud, “A Child Is Being Beaten” (1919). Lacan, Seminar IV, La relation d’objet, 1956/57.
Angelo Villa is a psychoanalyst practicing in Milan, where he also teaches at the Università Bicocca, the Istituto Freudiano, and the IRPA (Institute for Applied Psychoanalytic Research).
