Suffering, Subjectivity and Compulsory Enjoyment: Introducing Lacanian Ideas for the Clinic, Part 1

, In person, The Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis

This event has taken place.

Philip Hill opens a clinical introduction to Lacan with two provocations: that suffering may be necessary and enjoyment compulsory. Working through the symptom, he sets torture beside orgasm, sorts subject from object, and draws the fine distinctions between demand, love and desire that shape a treatment. Pitched at those with no prior Lacanian reading, the seminar keeps returning to the ethics of the clinician and the good of the other.
