 This course will provide a more in-depth study of the basic concepts of Lacan's theory and techniques. The course may follow on or be taken separately from Course 1A. It consists of six sessions: two on each of the three eras of Lacan's work: Early Lacan, Middle and Late Lacan, and Contemporary Lacanian Studies and Practices.
Clinical examples will be presented and the reading list will be extended to include authors Bruce Fink, Colette Soler, Jacques-Alain Miller, and a number of others.
This course will prepare partipants for the "Reading Lacan" seies in January–February 2013.
Learning Objectives
The course will:
1. Allow participants to adopt techniques that will enrich their perspectives and approaches to their patients, as well as offering new ways of expressing the goals and achieving the ends of psychotherapeutic treatments.
2. Provide enough background and history to the concepts such that participants will be able to better understand speakers at conferences and the secondary commentaries on Lacan’s work.
3. Provide participants with the framework necessary to reading Lacan himself.
4. Give participants an opportunity to discuss their own clinical casework in the context of the Lacanian orientation.
