The Space of the Mind in Psychoanalysis – Topology and its Use in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
This video is about the space of the mind and how we think of it. From a picture that doesn’t make sense, to the topological models that re-describe psychical space and which interested Lacan for 25 years. We look at how these ideas are used in clinical work in Lacanian psychoanalytic psychotherapy, illustrated with examples from psychosis and neurosis.
