Seminar title : Reflections on some clinical consequences of Trauma, Psychosis and Soul Murder

Seminar Description: This seminar will consider clinical work with severely disturbed individuals through the lens of experiences of Trauma, Psychosis and Soul Murder. Psychoanalysis has, historically, maintained an uneasy relationship with traumatic events, despite a great deal of knowledge about them. How can we think about phenomena of impingement, the intra-psychic consequences, the contribution of subjective fantasy to severe disturbance, and the interplay of fantasy and reality in a traumatized mind? The focus of the seminar will be on experiences more than attempts to theorize experiences.
