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.

Autumn 2025: Using Variable Time

Why should the length of the psychoanalytic session remain fixed? Why should it depend on a clock rather than on what the analysand is saying? Although Lacan was not the first to raise these questions, his practice of variable time sessions has remained a central and crucial part of the analytic orientation he established. These seminars will examine the question of session time from a theoretical and clinical perspective, combining case examples with broader questions of temporality and interpretation.
