Democracy in Central Europe
Lecturer: Andrea RitterThe repeated split and radicalization of politics in Europe is a gradually deepening process that has been going on for years, and in this process experts can study changes at individual and social levels „in vivo”.

Lecturer: David BellIn the Standard Edition, the editors inform us that Freud’s ‘Formulations on the Two Principles of Mental Functioning’ (1911b) amounts to a kind of stock-taking, namely that Freud is bringing findings from an earlier period into line with his current thinking and also laying the basis for the major theoretical works to come.

A Change for Worse or Winter after Spring: malignant regression or developmental (re)alignment?
Lecturer: Reiner WinklerIn this clinical presentation, I will describe and examine a phase in the analysis of a 45-year-old women where, after a long period of impasse and therapeutic stalemate some progressive moves in the transference-countertransference could be detected and worked through.

“I am I, how simple it sounds, how difficult it is” How psychic change came about
Lecturer: Kitty Schmidt-Löw-BeerThis paper attempts to show how psychic change occurred in the therapy of an adolescent girl, Lisa.

Paternal Function and Thirdness in Psychoanalysis and legend: has the future been foretold?
Lecturer: Rosine Jozef PerelbergThis paper examines the Akedah, the biblical narrative of the Binding of Isaac, and suggests that this story may be interpreted as inaugurating paternal function and thirdness.
