This month marks five years since Lew Aron’s passing. Lew, one of the authors of the New Book ROCK MUSIC and Psychoanalysis was, as many of you know, IARPP’s founding president, a towering yet always approachable presence in our community from the early days of relational psychoanalysis. He first published his ideas on the different implications of one- and two-person psychologies in 1990, and his well-known paper, “The Patient's Experience of the Analyst's Subjectivity,” was featured in Psychoanalytic Dialogues’ inaugural issue a year later. His seminal contribution, A Meeting of Minds: Mutuality in Psychoanalysis, followed in 1996. In addition to elaborating so many central tenets of relational thinking, most especially the idea of a reciprocal yet asymmetrical analytic relationship, Lew ran NYU’s Postdoctoral Program from 1998 until his death. Not only did he maintain his ongoing dedication to scholarship, both through his prolific writing and his editorial shepherding of so many other voices in the field, Lew also impacted hundreds of analysts through his revered study groups, and he generously mentored and encouraged many more besides. He was an amazing presenter - deeply knowledgeable, integrative, always vivid and dynamic - and he played rock guitar with the same blend of seriousness and joy, precision and fervor. He loved psychoanalysis and in turn was beloved by our psychoanalytic community.

Giacomo Di Marco "UN SETTING MISCONOSCIUTO E UN SAPERE CLANDESTINO"
Giacomo Di Marco (psichiatra, Rovereto) presenterà la sua relazione dal titolo "UN SETTING MISCONOSCIUTO E UN SAPERE CLANDESTINO" al Seminario "La Cura e le Istituzioni" organizzato da Frenis Zero a Lecce il 7 marzo 2020.
Abstract: "Nel mio intervento propongo di ripensare all'evoluzione della declinazione del rapporto psicoanalisi/psichiatria, dal periodo della contrapposizione ideologica, a quello della comparazione di modelli sino a quello di una fertilizzazione reciproca, che esita nella prospettiva di una clinica istituzionale, che comporta la costruzione di uno specifico setting istituzionale, dal quale può emergere un sapere specifico, che nasce dalla esperienza e che non è una trasposizione di saperi nati dal setting medico o da quello psicoanalitico. Un sapere che, purtroppo, rimane eluso dalla pratica corrente per ragioni intrinseche e estrinseche, che cercherò di illustrare.
L'intervento vuole essere un contributo per ricercare spazi di pensabilità, per riformulare l'azione terapeutica contro la sua elusione e il suo diniego."
