Lutecium a non-school
of
Lacanian/Freudian Psychoanalysis
San Francisco, California
Fall 2010 Immersion

Clinical Case Conference
with Jacques Siboni, M.D.
Lutecium  clinical case conferences are presented for the purpose of illustrating case formulations from a Lacanian perspective,  
including the differentiation of character structure underlying the client’s symptoms and the presentation of the consequences of such
formulation on the clinician’s interventions necessary for the movement of the client’s treatment toward the cure.   This case conference
is designed for practicing clinicians.

Utilizing the presented clinical material, Dr. Jacques Siboni will explore what it means to work at the level of the fantasm, a juncture
existing between the real and the imaginary registers, as opposed to other psychoanalytic schools that work at the level of meaning
which, from Lacanian perspective, exists between the imaginary and the symbolic registers.  We will speak to the direction of the cure
which revolves around the reclaiming of the “object a,” and the acknowledgement on the part of the analyst of the real order that exists
within the kernel of the symptom.  

Following the formal case discussion by Dr. Siboni, course participants will be able to contribute their own perspectives relative to the
case and the case discussion as well as bring up any question to the case presenter and the instructor (supervisor).
