In the psychoanalysis of infants and children, the incursion of psychic trauma is not located in a repressed and buried past, as in the analysis of adult patients, but becomes a matter of urgent contemporaneity. Given this shift of temporal focus, might the theories and praxis of child psychoanalysis be particularly attuned to the historical traumas contemporaneous to the early years of the discipline itself?
Join us for a public lecture at the IFK by 2022–23 US Fulbright student Arielle Friend.
Arielle Friend, a PhD student in the German Language and Literature Program at Rutgers University and the 2022–23 US Fulright student recipient of the Fulbright-IFK Junior Fellowship, will present a public lecture entitled "The Childhood of Psychoanalysis." This event is hybrid; you can attend either in person or online. Attendance is free of charge, but registration is required for both online and in-person participation.
