Eligible for 3 CEs for LMHCs, Psychologists, and Social Workers
Discounts available for current Boston College students, faculty, and staff; email lynchschoolpce@bc.edu for more information.
Description:
This workshop will introduce participants to ways of conceptualizing a social psychoanalysis that is mindful of how gender, race, class, and sexuality are lived intersectionally in particular social and historical contexts and within particular power dynamics. We will focus on the concept of normative unconscious processes and how these processes issue in clinical enactments involving both patient and therapist--particularly as they unconsciously reproduce racism, classism, and heterosexism. We will also look more deeply into our particular historical moment, focusing on some psychic effects of neoliberalism and on institutional level normative unconscious enactments. We will work toward elaborating a psychoanalytic ethic that is both alert to and counter to one that fosters adaptation to the unjust world that has made people ill in the first place.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this presentation the participant will be able to:
- Describe the kinds of questions that a social psychoanalysis asks and the problems in mainstream psychoanalysis/psychology to which it responds.
- Define and give examples of clinical, institutional, and cultural enactments of normative unconscious processes.
- Compare and contrasts neoliberalism, its psychic effects, and some ways that therapists unconsciously reproduce or can resist reproducing neoliberal subjects.
