With which Catastrophe, and in What Way, Do we Intervene? Psychoanalytic thoughts on the first quarter of this century.
7-9pm: (CST): ZOOM Presentation & Discussion
About the presentation: As we near the end of the first quarter of this century, what are we facing, as psychoanalysts, as citizens, and as human beings? We are used to intervening with a lone patient, or maybe, two, if we happen to work with couples, in the quiet of the consulting rooms. Perhaps, for some of us, at least some of the time, screens have replaced bodies in offices. Outside of these private spaces, children, people of color, and others deemed unacceptable, are terrified and or murdered as millions of displaced human beings roam the earth seeking shelter and safety. Sea levels are rising, as is the threat of fascism. Can we rely on deep work to do enough, soon enough, to make for better human beings, and a safer world? Do our theories have more to offer? We can not do it all. How do we ethically determine our best impact and match it to who we are, individually and collectively?
