Edgard Francisco Danielsen, PhD, LP

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. p...andemic, 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.

Train to become a psychoanalyst

"And once the storm is over you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, in fact, that the storm is over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm is all about." Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami.
