Presented by Michael Levin Psy.D.

This conference will continue exploring aspects of Laplanche’s work that we did not have time to cover during the February presentation. It will include a case presentation to facilitate further clinical discussion and learning.

Topics covered will include:

• Laplanche’s view of the metapsychology of psychotic and dissociative disturbances

• Laplanche’s view of loss, mourning, and human temporality

• Laplanche’s theory of gender

• A closer look at Laplanche’s view of the psychoanalytic clinical method, process, and aims of treatment

• Laplanche’s view of the relationships between psychoanalysis, ideology, and human freedom
