RU199: DR BRET FIMIANI ON PSYCHOSIS & EXTREME STATES: AN ETHIC FOR TREATMENT

Rendering Unconscious welcomes Dr. Bret Fimiani to the podcast! He is here to discuss his new book Psychosis and Extreme States: An Ethic for Treatment (The Palgrave Lacan Series): https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-75440-2 Bret Fimiani is faculty, board member and psychoanalyst of the San Francisco Bay Area Lacanian School of Psychoanalysis, USA, and a clinical psychologist. He works with people experiencing psychosis and extreme states in his private practice in Oakland, CA and at the Haight-Ashbury Integrated Care Center in San Francisco. His research interests include adapting the Lacanian analytic frame for the treatment of psychosis and extreme states. Founded in 1990, the Lacanian School of Psychoanalysis offers a transmission of psychoanalysis through a savoir of the unconscious, built gradually in personal analysis and control analyses. These direct experiences of the unconscious, alongside an immersion in theory through seminars, events, reading groups, and cartels, inform ethical practices of analysis and scholarship. https://www.lacanschool.com Join me Monday, May 30th at ABF Stockholm!
