Event Details

On 28th of November 2020 Petros Patounas, psychoanalyst of the School of the Freudian Letter, will present a seminar entitled End of analysis: the Cause of the No-Body.

Summary

What is the end of one’s analysis and how the body and the experience of the world change? What is the place of the object a in the subject who has been analyzed? How desire manifests? What is the place of symptoms in the end of analysis?

- The Other and the end of analysis.

- The body and the world.

- Ways of ending analysis: the Symptom, the Sinthome, and the Act.

- The experience of love: the one who carries the object a and the one who supports desire.

- The fundamental fantasy and the literal of desire.
