The Legacy and the Innovations of Sándor Ferenczi and Other Remarkable Hungarian Psychoanalists

About

By psychoanalysis, we do not mean just a psychotherapeutic approach; it is also a hermeneutic- phenomenological qualitative research method on human subjectivity, society, and culture. We invite students to delve into the mysteries of the unconscious and discover what Hungarian and Global Psychoanalysis could say about art, culture, and society.
The lectures of the Summer University will focus on the most fundamental psychoanalytic concepts and current theoretical constructs. The lecturers will introduce the basic concepts needed to understand a lecture properly, so applicants with limited immersion in psychoanalytical thought will follow the presentations.
