FRENCH PSYCHOANALYSIS: CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS FOR THE TREATMENT OF PSYCHOSIS
SUNDAY, MAY 4, 2025
12:00 PM – 2:00 PM EDT
PRESENTER: TIMOTHY HACKETT, MA, LP

This presentation delves into the complex topic of psychosis in French Psychoanalysis. We will look at some innovative theoretical frameworks for the understanding of psychosis and consider the implications for technique and clinical experience that follow. 

The place of affect in psychosis, the possibility of verbal representation in psychotic states, ego formation in psychotic subjects, and the question of the body as both an object of representation and a site of psychotic (affective) experience may provide answers to and indications and contraindications for psychoanalytic technique. In some cases, familiar technical interventions may prove helpful, while in others such interventions can be ineffective and even detrimental. 

Learning Objectives: 
Participants will be able to:
1) identify fundamental problems in the theory of psychosis and its etiology.
2) gain an understanding of basic topics concerning psychotic subjects (e.g., affect, representation, ego and ego formation, and the body).
3) hold a discussion about the benefits and harms of certain technical approaches to the treatment of psychosis.
