Theme of the 2010 Seminar

For Freud, two moments were essential in a psychoanalysis: the beginning and the end. Last year, in PES2, we examined endings—their variety and their seriation. This year’s Seminar will be dedicated to beginnings: What it means to meet an analyst; What surprises the first session brings; How and when the analysand-to-be becomes an analysand; What prejudices have to be overcome; What convinces someone who suffers from his/her symptom to go beyond the quest for aid and healing and plunge into what could be the most worthy human adventure of our century: a psychoanalysis . . .

The papers will be written in the first person.
