SUMMARY:Lynne Layton on 'Social Psychoanalysis\, Normative Unconscious Processes\, and an Ethic of Repair.
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to invite you to join us for a public lecture by Lynne Layton on ‘Social Psychoanalysis\, Normative Unconscious Processes\, and an Ethic of Repair. The lecture is part of the seminar series on ‘Decolonising Counselling and Psychotherapy: Reflections from Psychosocial Perspectives’\, organised by Nini Kerr\, Rhea Gandhi\, and Mariya Levitanus\, in collaboration with the Association for Psychosocial Studies.\n\nWhen: Wednesday\, 5th June\, from 2-3pm.\nHow: MS Teams – please contact Rhea Gandhi for the link to join the event\n\nSession abstract\nThis talk takes up the question of what a social psychoanalysis might look like in the clinic\, in our psychoanalytic institutions\, and in our society. Drawing on some earlier psychoanalysts’ concepts that have connected the social world and the psychic world\, I introduce the concept of normative unconscious processes\, which addresses the ways that racism\, heterosexism\, classism and other social inequalities are unconsciously replicated in the clinic. The talk then explores how therapists can resist unconsciously replicating such cultural inequalities. We will then look outside the clinic at how cultural inequalities manifest in the wider circles of contemporary institutional and sociocultural life. Here\, too\, we will explore how we\, as citizens and therapists\, both unconsciously replicate and can resist replicating harmful\, unequal relations. We will think together about how to address the places in our different subjective and communal worlds where harm has been done\, and engage together on how to make repair.\n\nAuthor bio:\nLynne Layton has a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature and in Clinical Psychology.
