What might the study of psychoanalysis in and for the twenty-first century look like? In our symposium, we will aim to answer this question. Gathering on the centennial of the publication of Freud’s own “autobiographical” study, forty scholars, artists, and clinicians will take up the idea of a “return to Freud” by addressing psychoanalysis now—and taking its legacies seriously.
This two-day symposium, hosted by the University of California, Berkeley and The Psychosocial Foundation, brings together a diverse, interdisciplinary body of scholars engaged in the project of renewing psychoanalysis for the twenty-first century, drawing on its neglected twentieth-century archives.
Because this return to Freud is not merely an academic concern, we invite members of the public to join us, and to engage with academics, clinicians, and artists who have made Freud central to their work. To that end, the conference will feature panels, roundtables, public-facing conversations, and an evening film program. The event will culminate in a day of closed-door discussion for our speakers on issues facing the field, past and present.
