Intro to Psychoanalysis continues Saturday, April 18th

Join me for these spring events!

Looking forward to the next Introduction to Psychoanalysis class, Saturday, April 18th! We will be discussing the period following World War I, including Freud’s free clinics, specifically the establishment of the Berlin Psychoanalytic Polyclinic by Max Eitingon, Karl Abraham and Ernst Simmel. We’ll review the work of early woman psychoanalyst Lou Andreas-Salomé, and take a look at a few of Freud’s papers from this era, including “The Uncanny” (1919), “A Child is Being Beaten” (1919), Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920), and the case of the Wolf Man.
