Call for Papers for the CONGRESS

Simultaneous Clinical Sessions

Simultaneous (parallel) sessions will take place on Saturday 20 May, 13:00-16.15, with some in English and others in French. There will be no translation: each speaker and each participant will select the language of their choice.

We invite you to propose a contribution in line with the theme of the Congress, "Anxiety and Discontent". It is a theme especially conducive to the development of a case-by-case clinic, oriented as much by the analytical experience of the practitioner as by the epistemic references of our field. It is a theme geared as closely as possible towards knotting public discourses and the subjectivities of individuals who either subscribe to them or are rejected by them.

A 'clinical case' is this very knotting, unfolded under the effect of transference. 

So, your contribution will be about a clinical case, which will be read by the scientific committee.
