About this Event
Starting with a brief history of psychoanalysis, psychiatry and anti-psychiatry in our French society, we will try to show the actual place of psychoanalysis in our country.
Where can a patient meet a psychoanalyst? In private or in a hospital? Where is his place in the field of medicine, psychiatry, and in different types of institutions?
We will present Bonneuil, the Day Hospital, still open today near Paris, and created by the psychoanalyst Maud Mannoni in 1969, and founded on psychoanalytic ideas.
The registration fee is €30. The seminar will take place on Zoom. The Zoom link will be sent before the seminar begins. To register please email Nade Chekurova nade.chekurova@nullgmail.com or click on the Eventbrite link:
