SUMMARY:Radical Histories of Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an illuminating exploration of the hidden narratives and alternative histories that have shaped psychoanalytic practice from Los Angeles to the broader therapeutic landscape. \nHannah Zeavin will open our program by examining the overlooked histories of psychoanalysis and psychiatry\, revealing how these forgotten chapters continue to inform and illuminate contemporary therapeutic practice. Her presentation will challenge therapists and scholars to reconsider their current knowledge base through the lens of these radical historical perspectives. \nFollowing Zeavin\, David James Fisher will focus specifically on Los Angeles’s unique psychoanalytic heritage\, presenting his research “California Dreamin’: On the History of Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles With Special Emphasis on the Merger of 2005.” Fisher’s presentation will uncover the distinctive developments that made LA a crucial yet underexamined center of psychoanalytic innovation. \nPerwana Nazif will moderate a lively discussion between our presenters\, facilitating dialogue about how these historical insights reshape our understanding of psychoanalytic theory and practice today. \nThis program offers a rare opportunity to discover the untold stories that have influenced modern therapeutic approaches while exploring the specific cultural and institutional forces that made Los Angeles a unique laboratory for psychoanalytic thought. \nPRESENTERS: \nHannah Zeavin\, PhD is Assistant Professor of the History of Science in the Department of History and the Berkeley Center for New Media at UC Berkeley.
