Dr Jamieson Webster explores the concept of hysteria in the clinic and 21st century from a Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalytic perspective. It is chaired by Dr Calum Neill, Director of Lacan in Scotland, and the presentation is followed by a discussion with the audience.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Video timestamps: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MMFPfzVGHIk&amp;t=0s\">0:00<\/a> &#8211; Intro <br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MMFPfzVGHIk&amp;t=319s\">01:32<\/a> &#8211; Presentation <br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MMFPfzVGHIk&amp;t=3831s\">49:16<\/a> &#8211; Discussion <br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MMFPfzVGHIk&amp;t=6632s\">1:26:03<\/a> &#8211; Closing Remarks<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Description of the event: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is something annoying about the celebrated (or denigrated) muteness, disappearing acts, or unspoken bodily protest attributed to hysterical women at this point in psychoanalytic history. Any analyst who has worked with a hysteric knows the intense intricacy of what comes to be said, the incredible work of analysis that she performs, no less the process of encountering again and again some kernel of trauma, the very limits of understanding, that tends to bring the analysis towards its final moments. Why emphasize what is merely the symptomatic starting point? Why not describe the ferocious intelligence of some hysterical patients when it comes to analytic work, no less their intelligence in relation to their analysts, something that has often been called clairvoyant, even if defensive\u2014let\u2019s talk about you? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What other treatments are as maddening, mystifying, and magical? And what about the hysteric\u2019s politics, so variably celebrated as radical, feminist, or disparaged as submissive, conservative? This also seems to miss the mark of what takes place in analytic work; though the question, no less how it is conceptualized, is not impertinent for the future of the institution of psychoanalysis. What could a more hysterical psychoanalysis look like, and is that even something we want in the 21st century?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DR JAMIESON WEBSTER <\/strong>is a psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City.
