About the Course:

Bring your cases that are outside of normative bounds. We will draw in our well-worn and well-loved analytic concepts to explore clinical material together. If you have found that your thinking, your lived experience and/or that of your patients has not quite been thinkable within analytic theory, join us. We’ll stretch the
limits and make room together. Each week we will center a classical concept with the intention of queering it through the lens of case material from the group.

This course is a 6 part series. Classes will meet on Fridays at 10:00 am – 11:30 am PT via Zoom on May 22, 28, June 5, 12, 19, & 26.
