AND
The National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis
ARE PLEASED TO OFFER:
Between WINNICOTT and LACAN:
Working with Individuals and Couples
Donald Winnicott and Jacques Lacan have been recognized as two of the greatest psychoanalytic originals since Freud and Jung. English-speaking clinicians have been receptive to Winnicott but avoidant towards Lacan due to his recondite style of writing. Both men were critical of mainstream psychoanalysis, experimented with time boundaries, and introduced new constructs. In this seminar, we will use the more familiar British concepts as a counterpart, and go through Winnicott to Lacan, contrasting their views of the mirror stage, of selfhood vs. subjectivity, of clinical diagnosis, of the goals of treatment, and therapeutic technique. Although their perspectives are typically seen as antithetical to each other, we will see how they are in some ways complementary or mutually limiting. Case examples (one of an individual treatment and one of a couple) in which both of these great traditions supply important ideas, will be presented. Some have described this approach as a "Squiggle game" between Winnicott--the analyst of devotion, and Lacan-- the analyst of desire.

Learning
Objectives:
Upon Completion of this training, participants will be able to:
-
Describe the "mirror stage" as defined by Winnicott and by Lacan, and to identify the implications of this stage for clinical practice..
-
Distinguish between the goals of treatment in Winnicott and Lacan, and understand the benefits of both in therapeutic work.
-
Identify Lacan's concept of the "3 registers" (Symoblic, Imaginary, and Real) and explore some ways it can expand clinical effectiveness in the treatment of individuals and couples.
-
Explain Winnicott's use of the countertransference and Lacan's ideas about the "family curse" in terms of their application in the treatment of individuals and couples.
