In-Person Lecture: Risking Intimacy and Creative Transformation in Psychoanalysis,
Lauren Levine, PhD
In this presentation, I will consider the transformative power of stories to create shared symbolic meaning and coherence out of ungrieved trauma. Through evocative clinical stories, I'll explore creativity as transformative, emergent in the clinical process, drawing on film, dance, and dreams as frames for experience exceeding what words alone can capture. In analysis, we dwell in stories, in associations, echoes and reverberations. Apres coup. In the enigmatic and ineffable. As an analyst and writer, I’m interested in the stories we tell, individually and collectively, the interstitial gaps created by unmetabolized trauma, and the potential for an intimate psychoanalytic process to help patients reclaim their memory and creative agency and become the storyteller of their own lives.
Friday, January 24, 2025, from 7 to 9 pm, in person at ICP
