Psychoanalytic/Lacanian psychiatry settings in Europe?
I’m a final-year medical student in Europe, planning to go into psychiatry, and I’m thinking about doing a short observership or traineeship after graduation.
I’m especially interested in psychiatric settings where psychoanalysis is still taken seriously, especially Lacanian psychoanalysis, or at least places where Lacanian ideas would not be seen as completely alien to clinical psychiatry.
My French is still pretty limited, especially speaking, so I’m mostly looking for places where English might realistically be accepted. I already tried looking into Belgium, but unfortunately it didn’t really work out.
I’d also be curious about neuropsychoanalytic or related clinical/research settings, f.e., if anyone has done something connected to Mark Solms or Cape Town, I’d be interested to hear about it.
More generally, if anyone knows psychoanalytically oriented psychiatrists, departments, hospitals, research groups and so on in Europe that might be open to a short observership, I’d be very grateful for any suggestions.
P.S. yeah, I know, Lacan and Solms are very different figures, and I am not assuming that some straightforward “Lacanian neuropsychoanalysis” project is really possible. I just think the broader intersection between psychoanalysis, psychiatry, neuroscience, and clinical work is worth exploring more seriously.
