IPA Webinar: Psychoanalytical Research in France Sunday 26th May, 16:00 - 17:30 BST (Local times are displayed in the registration page in the dropdown) "Mental events seem immeasurable and will probably remain so forever", said Freud. Thus, until the end of his work, he remained opposed to the classic notion of research in psychoanalysis, which he found unfit to access this "immeasurable".... In this frame of reference, César Botella will present how his reflection on the scientific led him to the extension of the definition of psychoanalysis, which is no longer limited to the notion of discipline, with its method and practice defined, but conceived as an evolutionary thought. His publications in this direction since 2001 are currently confirmed by his work in the Committee for Research and Development of Psychoanalysis (CRDP), consisting of small research workshops whose discussion, during monthly plenary sessions, tends spontaneously to the development of psychoanalytic thought and constitutes a possible approach to this "immeasurable". Marie-France Dispaux will discuss César Botella's presentation. Register for your free place below; if you are unable to attend the live session but would like to receive a recording, please continue to register and a recording will automatically be emailed to you once the live session has ended. Please note, this webinar will be delivered in English.
