SHORT COURSES AT CFAR

CFAR offers a series of short courses on themes in Lacanian psychoanalysis. No prior knowledge of Lacan is assumed and the seminars will all include clinical examples involving the kind of problems and questions that are common to diverse currents in contemporary psychotherapy.

Spring 2026: Repetition

It might seem obvious why we repeat pleasurable situations, but what draws us to repeat painful, traumatic ones? Is there a different kind of satisfaction at play here, and, if so, what characterises it? This short course examines Freud’s responses to this question and his introduction of the concept of the repetition compulsion, together with Lacan’s reformulations of the problem.
