Psychoanalysis

[close] More fun to read than most psychoanalysts' writing and still as clear as doing the NY Time's crossword puzzle backwards searching for the context for a given word ... or signifier!

[close] ...June 22, 2013 to the forseeable future.

[close] This reading group is for anyone reading any Psychoanalysis school of thought (Classical Post- Neo- Developmental- Child- Relational- Intersubjective- Freudian, Jungian, Archetypal, Kleinian, Winnicott, British Object Relations, Bion, Lacanian) psychoanalytic theories and associated techniques. Whether the reader is a practising psychoanalyst, psychotherapist or psychologist, a non-practising academic psychoanalysis scholar, or just an 'interested' person in the street. Psychoanalytic theory is applied to children, individuals, couples, families, groups, companies, organisations and combined with other psychological approaches such as mainstream clinical psychology and forensic psychology practised in the National Health Service. Psychoanalytic theory is used in social psychology, applied community psychology, in marginal critical psychology and discursive psychology and in avant-garde media psychology, cultural psychology, political psychology and religious psychology. It is also used in depth psychology, art therapy, drama therapy, group analysis, business psychology, industrial psychology and organisational psychology. Readers of psycho-social, psycho-cultural, psycho-political studies and critical theory, social theory, cultural theory, film theory, philosophy, sociology and anthropology, also read psychoanalytic theory.

[close] Sylvia Bataille somehow bagged Jacques Lacan("the most controversial psycho-analyst since Freud", according to Mr. Google, which as we all know: never tells a lie) , AND!!! Georges Bataille, French writer, anthropologist, archivist and philosopher best known for his novella Story of the Eye. This group is primarily a discussion board based on "What was so captivating about Sylvia Bataille? (in theory) " I guess I just think she has one hellov'a track record as far as marital partners go. Sylvia Bataille achieved the modern day equivalent of a Clinton-Lewinsky-scandal followed by a an Instagram official relationship status with Slavoj Žižek...okay obviously that is only hypothetically accurate but in terms of who she could (in theory) be seen coupling-up with in the tabloids of 2021 I'd say that my statement is empirically and irrefutably factual. ...this may be one of those things where she must've been a member of the social elite so naturally the men she ended up with were very well known popular figures, but I have become fixated on her, and I believe there was something especially special about her. -Hunt, Jamer Kennedy (1995).
