Dear Colleagues:

Adding to our ongoing discussion of torture, violence and killing as we read and listen to last week to Robert J. Lifton, the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the self admitted Boston Marathon bomber, came to an end this week with a death sentence. As it dominated the news here, a discussion of capital punishment is ubiquitous.

Après-Coup PSYCHOANALYTIC ASSOCIATION

6:30 pm – 9:00 pm

 

WINNICOTT’S STYLE: BETWEEN THE CLINIC AND TRANSMISSION

PART II: CLINICAL STYLE IN EXTENSION, Foundations of Psychoanalysis

For D.W. Winnicott, clinical work requires inventing an analytic style that responds to the singularity of the analysand—as Freud recommended. We will first examine how Winicott’s style was shaped by his reaction to the styles of his own analysts (Strachey, Riviere); and then, how his dissemination of his own style in public talks and writings met the impasse of trying to transmit an analytic theory that eschewed theories.

SUGGESTED READINGS: D.W. Winnicott, “Hate in the Counter transference” (1947), “Clinical Varieties of Transference” (1955), in Through Paedriatrics to Psychoanalysis: Collected Papers (Basic Books).

MEETING PLACE: The School of Visual Arts, 136 West 21st Street (between Sixth and Seventh Avenues), New York City. Please ask at the front desk for the room number. 

ATTENDANCE FEE: $20. For students with ID: $10.  Attendance is free for all members of Après-Coup as well as for the faculty and students of the School of Visual Art
