To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Australian Centre for Psychoanalysis in 2026 a series of international seminars, with some of the important psychoanalysts to have visited and taught in Melbourne, will be conducted, in person and on-line. International seminars will be conducted by Bernard Nomiee, Colette Soler, Darian Leader and Dimitra Kolonia, a recently nominated Analyst of the School (IF-SPFLF).

Dates and venues to be confirmed. Please check this website and Facebook page for updates.

This seminar will examine the Freudian references that led Lacan to isolate the voice as an object at the heart of the Other’s speech, without however being able to respond to it. It will then examine the pace of this object in the structure of language from the perspective of Borromean theory. Clinical consequences will be deduced.

These seminars will continue the work begun in previous years oriented by Lacan’s seminars, from Seminar XIX (… or Worse), when he first presented the Borromean knot, to Seminar XXVI (Topology and Time) seminar. It is an introduction to the Borromean methodology and writing, which constitute a new paradigm in psychoanalytic theory and clinical praxis.
