The DPS hosted Dr. Patricia Gherovici on 10/16/2020 for a lecture titled, "Hate Your Neighbor as You Hate Yourself: How to Think Psychoanalytically about Symptoms of Hate Like Racism and Exclusion." MEMBERS CAN ACCCESS THIS VIDEO FOR FREE ON THE MEMBER PORTION OF THE WEBSITE. Lecture Description: This presentation proposes to think psychoanalytically about symptoms of hate like racism, discrimination and exclusion. After the Covid-19 pandemic and the growing awareness of violent discrimination, structural racism, and the impact of the Black Lives Matter movement, it seems that no analyst can be immune to the cultural context in which we work. It seems unavoidable to take a position. The lecture will address questions like: How is the current socio-political context affecting our patients and how do we work this in the clinical practice? How might the analyst's biases impede the treatment? How does that affect the ideal of neutrality? Is it enough to be aware of our unconscious racism and prejudice like heterosexism or gender normativity? How can we help psychoanalysis develop and thrive in our currently conflicted situation? The video recording of this lecture will be available to renters for one week. The video will be shared by email, so please be sure your email address is listed accurately.
