On Sunday, September 26, the Lacanian Compass hosted its first Video-Seminar in preparation for our upcoming Clinical Study Days on « Reading the Unconscious. » Fabián Naparstek, a Member of the EOL in Argentina, joined us as our guest. Naparstek presented a very carefully argued text on « The Masculine Unconscious, » in which he advanced several propositions on the the theme that the unconscious is masculine, which led to a very stimulating conversation. We also heard a case presentation by Fernando Schutt, a Member of the NEL in Miami, which demonstrated the place for psychoanalysis in agency settings and the psychoanalytic approach to a case of so-called fibromyalgia.

Our next Video-Seminar is scheduled for October 31. Our guest is Elisa Alvaregna from the EBP in Brazil, who will present on « What is the Importance of Dreams in Psychoanalysis Today. » We will also have a Case Presentation by Fabio Azaredo, a Member of NYFLAG in New York.
