Dive deeper into the foundational concepts of psychoanalysis with a focus on repression and the sexual drive.

Join us for a study group and a conference featuring the influential work of Dominique Scarfone, a leading voice on Freud, Laplanche, and French psychoanalysis. We will explore Scarfone’s key papers in a supportive, tutorial-based framework, designed to make these complex ideas accessible and relevant to your clinical practice. Both events will be held on Zoom.

On Thursday, September 18, from 7 to 8:30 pm PST, PCC will host a pre-conference study group to review Scarfone’s paper “A brief introduction to the work of Jean Laplanche.” Learn more and register here

On Saturday, September 27, from 9 am to noon PST, PCC will host a half-day conference featuring Dr. Scarfone who will read his keynote address on “the feminine” which he delivered to the 2019 Congress of the International Psychoanalytic Association. The presentation will be followed by a panel discussion of the paper and questions and answers with the audience. Learn more and register here
