Florencia F. C. Shanahan aims at interrogating the various possible relations between psychoanalysis and mental health.
About This Event
In many countries around the world psychoanalysis has a long tradition of being included in the academic and clinical training of mental health professionals (psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers) as well as in the design and delivery of mental health services for adults and children.
This workshop, led by Florencia F. C. Shanahan, aims at interrogating the various possible relations between psychoanalysis and mental health, both from a theoretical perspective and from the point of view of its actual practice in a diversity of settings. It will be based on the elaboration of clinical situations.
Drawing from her experience working in psychiatric hospitals in Argentina and Ireland, Florencia would like to propose a conversation where practitioners may question and debate the place and function of psychoanalysis today with regards to hegemonic models of understanding and approaching mental health, and explore the paradoxes inherent to working in the intersection of discourses.
Together with an invited panel who have been for many years involved in a variety of settings, emphasis will be placed on participation, discussion, and inclusion of a diversity of experiences, with the aim of advancing Freudian-Lacanian psychoanalysis taking as departing point the actual practice sustained currently and in concrete contexts in Ireland.
