  • This event has passed.

November 19, 2022 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am

Unlike many other analytical traditions, Lacanian psychoanalysis gives a special importance to diagnostic questions.  This seminar will introduce Lacanian diagnostic categories and discuss both why they may be relevant to clinical practice and what clinical elements allow diagnoses to be made.
