Extra Info:A Scientific Meeting Presented by Prof. Dr. med. Lutz Goetzmann

Dr. Goetzmann presents theoretically the three stages of the Oedipus complex according to Freud and Lacan. A clinical discussion will follow this. With regard to the first phallic-imaginary stage, Dr. Goetzmann makes references to Laplanche's seduction theory, particularly with regard to the attribution of gender identity. Dr. Goetzmann will also introduce a preliminary traumatic stage and link this with two considerations: on the one hand, the anti-Oedipal desiring-machines (Deleuze and Guattari) and, on the other hand, the idea of ​​dédoublement (Danielle Quinodoz). This presentation concludes with the various fates of the Oedipus complex (shown graphically as a line, loop, or semi-circular garland).
