The Irish Circle of the Lacanian Orientation (ICLO-NLS) are holding 2 events this coming week on Friday 10th and Saturday 11th June conducted by Rik Loose and Alan Rowan. These events are local, and participation is possible in-person only.
Rik Loose has extensive experience of teaching and transmitting psychoanalysis in colleges and universities in Ireland. Working clinically in private practice and as supervisor, Rik continues to deliver teaching seminars and lectures both in Ireland and internationally. Rik is a Registered Practitioner Member (APPI), ICLO-NLS, New Lacanian School (NLS), World Association of Psychoanalysis (WAP).
Alan Rowan is a psychoanalyst, clinical psychologist, and systemic psychotherapist. He has many years of clinical experience working in various mental health institutions and hospitals both in Ireland and the UK. Currently in private practice and supervisor in Berlin, Alan is a Registered Practitioner Member (APPI), ICLO-NLS, New Lacanian School (NLS), World Association of Psychoanalysis (WAP).
Not only will these events interrogate one of the most fundamental concepts in psychoanalysis, but they will draw a thread between the concepts of fixation and repetition, as introduced by Freud and further elaborated by Lacan. How do we separate these two concepts to define the point of origin of the symptom; how do we hear the repetition of signifiers of those who come to speak to us and distinguish it from that which has become fixed as a permanent disorder in the symptom?

On Friday 10th “Fixation: A Bone in Psychoanalysis” conducted by Rik Loose and Alan Rowan.
In this seminar, Rik Loose and Alan Rowan will consider aspects of Freud’s notion of fixation within the development of Lacan’s work and in doing so explore a trajectory from the dialectisability of fictions and their inertias to the One that is not reducible to the Other and its opaqueness-to-meaning of jouissance. In doing so they will furthermore introduce aspects of repetition – which Lacan promoted to a fundamental concept – and which will subsequently form the focus of Saturday’s seminar.
On Saturday 11th “Repetition: From Freud to Lacan” conducted by Alan Rowan
What do we understand by repetition in contemporary discourse, in the clinic? Freud gave this concept great importance – “Remembering, Repeating and Working Through,” is a text devoted to it. Here, repetition is linked to transference and constitutes a resistance, even an aggravation of symptoms in the treatment although the drive remains implicit. “Beyond the Pleasure Principle,” introduces the death drive as the fundamental repetition compulsion of trauma, but repetition remains essentially symbolically constituted. The turning point of Lacan’s Seminar XI, couples’ repetition with the drive and introduces us to a newly defined concept of repetition, one which he will continue to elaborate throughout his later teachings.
This seminar will focus on Freud’s use of repetition both prior to and after his introduction of the concept “the compulsion to repeat.” It will further explore Lacan’s reworking of repetition focusing in particular on Seminar XI and on how symptom and fantasy are necessarily implicated in any consideration of repetition at either a clinical or theoretical level.
