NIPPA Focus Seminar – The Problematic ‘I’ in Individuation: A Conversation about Culture, Development and Psychoanalysis – a Culture interest event taking place on 2019-10-27 11:00:00 in United States
The Problematic ‘I’ in Individuation: A Conversation about Culture, Development and Psychoanalysis Presented by: Gurmeet S. Kanwal, M.D. Developmental theory is fundamental to all psychoanalytic thinking. And, in my view, culture is a fundamental determinant of development. Yet culture continues to be ignored and sidelined as a determinant of theory. We will discuss how and why culture needs to be front and center in our thinking as psychotherapists of any kind. I will then present some thoughts about a model for development that is rooted in a cultural perspective where integration rather than separation is the goal. We will also explore what implications this might have for how we understand “difficulties in living,” including those that result from racism and trauma. Gurmeet S. Kanwal, M.D., is Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Weill Medical College of Cornell University, and Supervising Psychoanalyst at William Alanson White Institute. Dr. Kanwal is co-editor (with Salman Akhtar) of the books, Bereavement: Personal Experiences and Clinical Reflections (Karnac, 2017) and Intimacy: Clinical, Cultural, Digital and Developmental Perspectives (Routledge, 2019). He is an Editorial Board Member of the International Journal of Psychoanalysis. Originally from India, he has lectured in the U.S., India and Iran. Continuing Education NIPPA Focus Seminars do not offer CE hours.
