Psychoanalysis and Love: A Lacanian Perspective
With Bruce Fink
A Day Long Program
Saturday May 10, 2008
SFCP Auditorium
2340 Jackson Street, 4th Fl., San Francisco
(entrance on Webster St.)
Internationally known psychoanalyst and author Bruce Fink will be with us for an all-day program. In the morning, Dr. Fink will lead a seminar, acan on Love (or: Love From Both Sides).?Dr. Fink will review Lacan's various notions of love as they evolved over the course of his career in light of Freud view of the subject. Freud's rather "obsessive" theory of love will be contrasted with Lacan's views of passion in his early work, of the "miracle" of love in his reading of Plato's Symposium, of the main thrust of courtly love, and of love as giving what one does not have. In the afternoon Dr. Fink will comment on a case presentation. Throughout, audience participation and interaction will be encouraged.
Bruce Fink, Ph.D., is a practicing Lacanian psychoanalyst, analytic supervisor, and Professor of Psychology at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He trained as a psychoanalyst in France and is now a member of the psychoanalytic institute Lacan created shortly before his death, the role de la Cause Freudienne in Paris. He is also an affiliate member of the Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. He is the author of four books on Lacan, the last of which is Fundamentals of Psychoanalytic Technique: A Lacanian Approach for Practitioners , 2007. Dr. Fink is also a translator of Lacan's work.
Julie Leavitt, M.D., is a psychiatrist and a candidate at PINC. She has a private practice in San Francisco, and is Medical Director, staff psychiatrist and faculty member at the Access Institute for Psychological Services, in San Francisco.
