Duration:6 - 8pm BST / 1 - 3pm EDT
Extra Info:With Alan Michael Karbelnig

Dismayed by the fragmentation haunting the psychoanalytic project for more than a century, Dr. Karbelnig has proposed an overarching clinical model for psychoanalysis. The approach intends to unify practitioners using Freudian, Jungian, Kleinian, Self-Psychological, Relational, or any psychodynamic approach. The presentation expands upon his February 2022 paper, "Chasing Infinity: Why Clinical Psychoanalysis' Future Lies in Pluralism." In brief, Dr. Karbelnig believes that psychoanalytic clinicians practice framing, presence, and engagement in their work with patients. They pursue the unconscious mind through focusing on transference and countertransference, repetitive psycho-behavioral themes, and dreams (and other signifiers of the unconscious). After explaining the six-point model, Dr. Karbelnig will invite the audience to question and discuss these admittedly ambitious ideas.
