Discussions On Psychoanalysis

We invite you to continue the discussion on how the social is part of a psychoanalytic practice. This time, we will address how psychoanalysts bring where they come from in the analysis, what it means to work with people who come from different countries with different knowledge of the analytic process, how we are always in a process of exclusion and inclusion, and how influenced we are by the difficulty of the US society with conflict. Finally, we will have a little chat on the religion and the space of certainty.

We will address the difficulty to integrate the social in some psychoanalytic trainings, what to do when the social meets a patient's issue, can we include the social and still be psychoanalysts, and how taking the social into account is an unspoken or unrecognized necessity in a psychoanalytic work.

On the latest installment of Discussions on Psychoanalysis, Grégoire Pierre interviews Dr. Lee Jenkins, Training Analyst and Supervisor at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis (NPAP) in New York City.

Dr. Jenkins leads the audience through an abridged chronicle of his upbringing in the south of the United States to his work as a college professor to becoming a psychoanalyst. Dr. Jenkins welcomes us into his personal experiences and weaves a tapestry with stories on race and racism, the impact of the external realities on the internal world of an African American psychoanalyst, and the assumptions and expectations of patients and colleagues. All of this with a nuanced discourse and calm demeanor, a refreshing perspective in our polarized and agitated world.

“Four psychoanalysts enter a bar …” or so would go a variation of the jocular trope, except that this installment of Discussions on Psychoanalysis was not recorded in a bar, and much less the subject is a funny thing. In this episode, your hosts, Grégoire Pierre and Edgard Francisco Danielsen, invite two other psychoanalysts – Tine Pahl and Peter Jaegerman – to ponder the complexities of race and racism. This podcast was recorded 18 months ago, and you won’t hear a word on COVID or latest social and political unrest experienced in the United States; nevertheless, the conversation between these four psychoanalysts remains current. “Four psychoanalysts record a podcast,” one is French, one is Puerto Rican, another is German, and the fourth is American. We come to the table from different cultural and academic backgrounds (Law, Natural Sciences, Psychology, and Developmental Research) and explore race and racism from sociological and psychoanalytic perspectives. We talk about identity and intersectionality, identification and fantasy, splitting and violence, and much more.

On this installment of Discussions on Psychoanalysis, your hosts, Grégoire Pierre and Edgard Francisco Danielsen, answer some questions from the audience, e.g. fantasy and note-taking, and delve deeper into the shifting demands and explorations regarding on how to do psychoanalysis in times of pandemic. The psychoanalytic frame has changed, in what ways does it impact the work with our patients? Both analyst and patient are immersed in the same external global reality, i.e. pandemic, what does this mean for the work of interpreting in the transference? In what ways the physical body is part of the analysis, e.g. lying down on the couch or facing a camera; phone or videoconference? What about the analyst's own mortality? Join your hosts as they ponder and unpack their thoughts around these and other questions from the audience.
