Description of Program: Lerner Symposium
Francoise Davoine and Jean-Max Gaudilliere have provided the social sciences, and in particular psychoanalysis, with a profound and original illumination of the theory and treatment of psychosis. They have taught, lectured upon, and researched the field of madness throughout the world, including two memorable visits here in Knoxville. This program is In Memorium, commemorating the recent tragic and untimely death of our teacher and friend - Jean–Max.
In the first part of this program, Dr. Gorney will explicate the singular theoretical and clinical contributions of Davoine and Gaudilliere, with a particular focus upon their landmark book – History Beyond Trauma. This book summarizes and synthesizes their many years of brave and highly innovative explorations into the nature of madness and the development of a unique psychotherapeutic approach to guide its treatment and transformation.
In the second part of the program, Dr. Gorney will demonstrate the immediate applicability and relevance for ongoing clinical practice of Davoine and Gaudilliere's highly original conceptions of the psychotic process and their guidelines for its treatment. This will be accomplished via a detailed presentation of the course of outpatient psychotherapy with a psychotic patient.
