Psychic Change and Enactment: some reflections - Ariel Liberman
"Psychic Change and Enactment: Some Reflections" is the work that Ariel Liberman offers us, to examine psychic change from a relational perspective, placing enactment as a central moment in the analytic process. Far from understanding it as a mere technical error, he presents it as a shared repetition (by patient and analyst) that, through insight and the analyst's disidentification with the embo

Transience and the prohibition of “Don’t Look” - Osamu Kitayama

On Paternal Presence - Heribert Blass

What Can Psychoanalysis Offer to Alleviate Toxic Polarization - Harriet Wolfe
The current social, political and historical context offers many difficult challenges.

Confidentiality in Supervision – Ellen A. Sparer

In this episode, Ellen Sparer explores a central paradox in psychoanalytic formation: the tension between the confidentiality of analytic work and

The Desire and Passion for a Child - Dr. Patricia Alkolombre
In today’s context of reproductive technologies, one has the idea that we might have more control over the process of reproduction. No longer necessarily linked to sexuality, reproduction and parenthood can occur in a multitude of ways, pushing the boundaries of what was not thought to be possible or acceptable. These biotechnical innovations have not only changed the ways that one can become a
Freud, his passion for travel, and its impact on psychoanalytic discoveries - Patricia O'Donnell
What is it that is so captivating about travel? In Freud’s travel letters chronicling his experiences over many decades in different countries, there are the seeds of the advance of non-clinical experiences of psychoanalysis. Travel takes us to another place with unfamiliar surroundings so that we might see anew that which we may otherwise take for granted. Awe and beauty are often experiences
Inanimate Objects in the Frame - Jacqueline Godfrind
What roles do the inanimate objects in the psychoanalyst’s office play in the treatment? Paintings on the walls, bookcases, armchairs, carpets, sculptures, and of course, the couch are simultaneously objects of external reality which are part of the frame, and they may also become part of the internal reality of the patient. Can these objects have an important effect on the progress and process
Artificial Intelligence and psychoanalysis: meeting the future. - Rosa Spagnolo.
How can neuropsychoanalysis help us to understand Artifical Intelligence? We encounter Artificial Intelligence everyday, which is modeled to a certain extent on human consciousness, and so AI gives us a view into what we know and what we may not know about ourselves. In addition, we now develop our sense of self and others both within the virtual and material worlds – AI could be said therefore t
The loss of illusions. How does the analyst mourn? - Marc Hebbrecht.

A plea for a third topicality.
An intrapsychic representation of the intersubjective bond,
even before the discovery of the object.

The distorted Oedipus complex - François Richard

In this episode, François Richard is proposing his concept of the distorted Oedipus c

Michael J Diamond: The Father’s Impact on Masculinity and Its Discontents.
The paternal function is one of the most embedded concepts both in the singular dimension of clinical thinking and in the extended of social functioning. It underlies, for example, one of the foundational elements of the psychoanalytic method: the very idea of “Analytic Setting” could not exist without a paternal function.
In today's episode, thanks to the work of Michael J Diamond, we will explo

Contributions for a theory of the constitution of the cruel superego - Marion Minerbo
In this episode dr. Marion Minerbo brings us an original hypothesis about the constitution of the cruel superego – the one that, according to Freud, plants its roots in the id and is pure culture of the death drive. In her hypothesis, the hatred with which the superego attacks the ego comes from the identification with unconscious micro-vows of death that originate in the paranoid core of the pare
Psychoanalysis as Politics: Aspiring to Think In the Age of Anti-Thinking - Ian S. Miller
This podcast discusses the political nature of psychoanalytic audacity in our era of fake news and disinformation. Today, gullible populations accustom themselves to the lies and misrepresentations of anti-thinking, often through the rumor-mills of social media, where any and every thought, no matter how bizarre, is leveled to an equality of consideration (Frankfurt, 2005; Hayden, 2018; Lipton, 20
Ludovica Grassi - Music, Silence and Psychoanalysis
A few musical passages serve as examples of how music is a basic component of psychic life and unconscious functioning since the earliest sensorial experiences in utero.

Silence and absence, as well as time and te

Paulina Zukerman: “Couples and Families: A Psychoanalytic Perspective on Money Issues”.
Phantasy knotted around money as a drive derivative organizes unconscious modes of family survival. Social, historical, political, and economic considerations also influence the conscious and unconscious establishment of alliances, pacts, agreements, and rules to govern family life. Is the re-drafting of laws enough to solve the permanent difficulties of equivalence when couples and families tal
Jack Drescher - Attending To Sexual Compulsivity in a Gay Man.
Themes of hiding abound in the developmental narratives of boys who grow up to be gay. Their need to hide is reinforced by the traumatizing public humiliation that ensues from either open expressions of same-sex desire or gender- nonconforming behavior. The experience of being discovered, punished, and humiliated for showing or acting on such feelings or behaviors can lead to hiding activities t
José Eduardo Fischbein - “The Body in The Psychoanalytic Session”.
This paper aims at categorizing two types of discourse with which the body is referred to. It is based on the model of psychic apparatus as presented in Chapter VII of The Interpretation of Dreams, using it as a conceptual instrument for reading the clinical material in the session. These are the discourse of the "evoked body" and the one on the "perceived body". The former historicizes memorie

Florence Guignard - The Infantile in Psychoanalytic Practice Today.

Ruggero Levy - “The polyphony of contemporary psychoanalysis: the multiple languages of man”.
The work proposes that the contemporary analyst can and should listen to the varied languages of man and, with a specific technical stance, help the patient, through intermediary moments, to think what was unthinkable, to name what was unnameable. It departs from listening to the language of the non-symbolic, which depends on the analyst’s capacity for reverie and their capacity to metaphorise th

The present paper suggests the existence of two axes of human development: the axis of dependence, associated with human connectedness and the axis of addiction, associated with using inanimate objects to fulfill one’s needs.
