Speakers: Harold Braswell, PhD & Nikki Karalekas, PhD. This course will explore the relationship between writing and psychoanalysis through a group workshop process. We will begin by holding two courses exploring the connection between psychoanalysis and writing: How do psychoanalysts work with difficulties that can arise during the creative process? How do we support our patients’ creativity and our own? How might we give peers psychoanalytically minded feedback on their writing? We will then spend a day together reading and providing feedback on each other’s writing. Prior writing experience is not required.
