  • How is Madness Embodied in Psychoanalysis?

    Saturday, May 17th, 2025
    Online from 12 Noon-2:00pm/Eastern

    Although Freud doubted that psychotic patients could benefit from psychoanalysis, he acknowledged that “suitable changes” in his method might “succeed in overcoming this contra indication.” From a variety of perspectives, the four speakers in this conversation explore how a focus on the embodiment of madness represents a change in method that has brought about remarkable advances in the field.
