Lecture Series 2025/26 | Figurations of the Unconscious

A Lecture Series organized by Esther Hutfless and Elisabeth Schäfer

Since its beginnings, psychoanalysis has steadily evolved, and ongoing research continues to generate a rich body of knowledge capable of informing our understanding of both societal and clinical phenomena—and of shaping how we engage with them. Together with international experts and researchers in the psychoanalytic field, we aim to create a platform in which contemporary and modern psychoanalytic research and theory can be discussed critically and collaboratively, helping to shape a future in which psychoanalysis contributes meaningfully to broader intellectual, social and clinical questions and challenges.

The lectures in this series will be held in either German or English.
