Other Psychoanalytic Courses Offered
Lacanian Psychoanalysis
Drawing on my many years of studying and teaching about Jacques Lacan and his psychoanalysis, I can offer a short or longer psychoanalytic course in Lacanian Psychoanalysis. This could include the history of his work, references to his major writings, sequential presentation of his early concepts and the late Lacan field, contemporary Lacanian studies, and implications for psychoanalytic treatments. You and I will also explore the registers that Jacques Lacan identified of the imaginary, the symbolic, and the real, and how their uses and implications are changing in the contemporary world.
Postmodernism and Psychoanalysis
I can provide a psychoanalytic course on Postmodernism and how it relates to psychoanalysis.
The Concepts of Truth Compared with Fact, Belief, Mythology, Rhetoric, and Lies
At Let's Talk About Aging, I could also give a psychoanalytic course on these concepts of truth as compared with fact, belief, mythology, rhetoric, and lies, each of which has a fascinating history and contemporary relevance.
What to Expect from Each Psychoanalytic Course
Each psychoanalytic course, which could be given to one person or more, would include history and context, definitions, clinical examples, and treatment approaches of the psychoanalytic topic covered. I will translate the material into a language that you can better understand without losing the seriousness of the subject. The courses may also be expanded to include discussions of contemporary life.
