Series: Decentralized Learning Experiences
A learning experience can be almost anything, and any licensed clinician can propose one. It can be about a paper, a book or a movie. It can tackle an idea, such as field theory or dream analysis or focus on the work of a theorist. The format can be didactic or it can be a leaderless seminar or a one-hour conversation. It can be a one-off event or a series of weekly, biweekly, or monthly meetings. Currently, this program is in its pilot stage, so certain limits may apply.
Psychoanalytic Inquiry’s Learning Experiences are free.
This event will not be recorded.

Abolish the Psychoanalytic Institute
May 20th at 5:00 – 6:30 PM PT
Description
The title says it all, right? Psychoanalytic institutes are a dam on the psychoanalytic river; they need to be busted to build a thriving psychoanalytic ecosystem. In this brief talk, I will argue that psychoanalytic institutes are uniquely bad institutions that create iatrogenic effects far out of proportion to any benefit they may provide. They should, consequently, be abolished. The abolition of psychoanalytic institutes opens up numerous radical possibilities–for reparations for trans people harmed by the profession; for a psychoanalysis that is much more involved in multidisciplinary institutions and diverse communities; for a psychoanalysis that is much less invested in, and capable of, coercive control of patients and professionals alike. We need a DIY psychoanalysis; a common, good psychoanalysis.
