Psychoanalysis today?
Lacanian Study Group! Why psychoanalysis today? In an era of rapid fixes and diagnostic labels, Lacanian psychoanalysis offers a radical return to the subject and the unconscious. This study group invites clinicians, scholars, and students to explore key Lacanian concepts through close reading and discussion. We’ll trace Lacan’s return to Freud and reflect on clinical implications. Open to all levels, beginners included, the group fosters shared inquiry, critical thought, and the pleasure of theory as a living, disruptive force that still speaks urgently to contemporary clinical and cultural life.
