Seminars

The clinical seminar program will be guided by the ethics of the clinical practice of psychoanalysis. The seminar will show how this unfolds for the analyst and the analysand using the presentation of analytic cases by members of the ACP.

Please contact the Convenor before the first meeting to express your interest in attending.

This Seminar will continue to work according to the new modality it adopted
in 2020: in cartels and/or by individual contributions. The research projects
for the year generally concern the analytic discourse and the formation of
the analyst, but other questions may emerge from the participants’ work
in progress.

The Forum of Melbourne is a member of the International Forums of the
School of Psychoanalysis of the Lacanian Field.

The Forum of Melbourne will work this year on contributing to this discussion
of the transmission of psychoanalysis and other fundamental questions which
are the object of psychoanalytic research in Australia and other countries..

questions relating to the clinical and conceptual field of psychoanalysis with
children and adolescents.

The theme for this year is love in its relations with desire, jouissance
and the four fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis.

The cartel is a small study group that researches topics of clinical and theoretical interest. Members and others work together, but each member pursues their own independent study and has an opportunity to present the work. The duration of a cartel is usually two years.

All interested colleagues are welcome. Those who have not participated in the Seminar before, please contact the Convenor before the first meeting.
