Re-Reading Freud Seminar – Part 4

The Israeli Society of Neuropsychoanalysis and the Neuropsychoanalysis Open School announce the opening of enrolment for the Fourth Re-reading Freud Seminar.

We continue our engagement with the Revised Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud, a long-awaited milestone in psychoanalysis. This year-long theoretical seminar, Re-Reading Freud – Part 4, focuses on Freud’s later works and addresses key questions of anxiety, culture, femininity, the limits of analysis, and Freud’s final synthetic vision of psychoanalysis. The texts will be revisited through the lens of contemporary neuroscience. Participants will take part in 10 seminars dedicated to selected works from the Revised Standard Edition. In addition, once a month — one week before each meeting with Professor Solms — a guided preparatory reading seminar will be held. Led by Dr Irith Raveh-Barzel, this preparatory reading seminar will focus on close reading, discussion, and conceptual analysis of the texts for the upcoming session.

This series offers a unique opportunity to remain at the forefront of psychoanalytic thought and contribute to its scientific development in the 21st century.

THE SEMINAR IS CURRENTLY OPEN FOR ENROLMENT.
