#24 On The Social With Catherine Silver part 01

Discussions On Psychoanalysis

On the latest installment of Discussions on Psychoanalysis your hosts Grégoire Pierre and Edgard Francisco Danielsen interview Dr. Catherine Silver, Professor of Sociology who identifies as a "social relational psychoanalyst." Through their candid dialogue, hosts and guest explore the web of forces - personal and social - that lead a person to become a psychoanalyst, another person to desire being in psychoanalysis, and these two to find each other in the therapy room. We engage in themes of class, race, immigration, and we ponder what would psychoanalytic training look like if it were immersed in the life of communities. In addition, we have an opportunity to hear in what ways the work of Erich Fromm informs the practice of Dr. Silver.
