How might these foundations be challenged from an existential perspective, and how might such a challenge expand our understanding of our patients? This reading group will explore the theory of daseinsanalysis, an existential-phenomenological reformulation of psychoanalytic theory put forth by Medard Boss (patient of Freud and friend of the philosopher Martin Heidegger), and its potential to expand our ability to adapt to our most distressed and fragile patients. Participants will read through Boss's Psychoanalysis and Daseinsanalysis over the course of four meetings.

Four Thursdays: September 7, 21, October 5, 19; 7—8:30 pm
