THE NEW YORK FREUD LACAN ANALYTIC GROUP


Invites You to a Lecture


ENCOUNTERS WITH SEXUALITY


Guest Speaker: Marco Focchi, Psychoanalyst



August 11, 2010, 8 pm
New York City


Is Sexuality something natural that develops spontaneously and that grows in the human being with the growth of his body? Lacan doesn’t think so. Sexuality, for the human being is indissolubly linked to language, and the encounter with sexuality is therefore always traumatic. Where are we, after the results of sexual revolution? Shall we still say, with our free way of living sexuality, that it is always the cause of neurosis?


Lacan has a radical point of view: there is no sexual relation. This goes beyond an empirical perspective on sexuality, and implies that encounters between men and women need a semblance, a masquerade. And what happens after the shedding of semblance? That’s the point we will try to answer to.


Marco Focchi is a Psychoanalyst who practices in Milan. He is a member of the World Association of Psychoanalysis (WAP) with the title of AME, and he is past-president of the Scuola Lacaniana di Psicoanalisi (SLP). He is now Director of the Instituto Freudiano di Psicoanalisis, where he teaches a course on Epistemology of Psychoanalysis.
