Title

Seizing Psychoanalysis From the Clinic to the Streets

Abstract

This talk will take up the ways in which clinicians have an ethical imperative to "seize the means" of psychoanalytic production in service of worldmaking and alleviating psychic suffering caused by systems of oppression. Grounded in Fanonian psychoanalysis, it will discuss the downfalls of a provincialized practice of psychoanalysis that is cleaved off from the psycho-politico-affective and argues that psychoanalysis can come to be one of many tools toward revolutionary thinking and praxis.
