Abstract

This article explores the concept of psychoanalytic pedagogy in the context of current societal challenges and systems of domination. The author emphasizes the need for representation and diversity in psychoanalytic education, highlighting the importance of including marginalized voices and interrogating systems of power and oppression. The article also discusses the role of interdisciplinary thinking and the potential for psychoanalysis to offer a liberatory praxis. Overall, the author calls for a more open and adaptable approach to psychoanalytic pedagogy in order to navigate the complexities of the present moment. The text discusses the process of developing a syllabus for psychoanalytic courses, emphasizing the importance of creating inclusive and transformative learning environments that allow for critical engagement with the material and diverse ways of knowing. The author also highlights the need for psychoanalysis to center lived experiences and engage with systemic dynamics and normative unconscious processes, challenging dominant ideologies and structures within the field. The article concludes by urging institutions to examine their curriculum and dismantle any harmful hierarchies or systems of oppression. [Extracted from the article]
