Course Description:
This presentation will open by discussing what poetry in actuality is. What are its components? From where does it originate? How does it exert a healing effect upon mental pain? Moving on from such issues, the presentation will highlight three links between poetry and psychoanalysis. These refer to the presence in the clinical hour, of (i) poetic sentiment, (ii) poetic speech, and (iii) poetic specimen. Each will be elucidated in detail and with the help of socio-clinical vignettes. The aim of this presentation is to demonstrate that, through the affirmative holding and partial unmasking of the instinctual-epistemic conflation in verse and free-association, both poetry and psychoanalysis seek to transform the private into shared, the hideous into elegant, and the unfathomable into accessible.
