  • introduction0:38

    Explore the utopian vision of Atlantis, which may have existed or may yet come to be realized, guided by two major psychoanalytic teachers, Freude and Larcombe, in Western Europe.

  • the outset of our enquiry1:32

    Trace how primitive cellular structures formed a symbiotic life, then apply psychodynamic theory and sociology, including nation-state dynamics, to visualize the psyche’s evolving symbiotic elements.

Requirements

  • It is okay if you are familiar with psychodynamic theory, but the things I am trying to help you see, can be understood I believe by anyone, novice or expert.

Description

I think it is a very interesting suggestion, that we could recognize a similar dynamic structure in our inner as well as our outer sphere of living.

In this course, I will take you through my vision of this make-up, a vision that is based on the psychodynamic theory of Sigmund Freud as Jacques Lacan has repainted and reformed it. This way of looking at things is very enlightening I believe, because it lets us at once understand our psyche and our world.

It will be clear that both are problematic as such. There is a tension that seems to be inherent in this make-up. A tension that may or may not have always existed, and may or may not be with us for all times.

At least in theory, I believe it is possible to point to the cause of the problem and in so doing try to make room for a plausible and who knows, achievable way of resolving the problems that we have been stuck with since our early days on this planet.

Now may be as good a time as any to embark on this road of healing, and a vision that is daring may be just what we need to get us out of a place we have been stuck in for way too long.

Who this course is for:

  • People interested in personal and social liberation.
  • Psychoanalysts looking for an example of real world application of their theory.
