Relational Perspectives Series Workshop with Annie Rogers: The Arc of Psychoanalytic Practice with Children
As we celebrate The Seattle School’s 21st birthday this year, we are honored to welcome Dr. Annie Rogers, Professor of Psychoanalysis and Clinical Psychology at Hampshire College, for the annual Relational Perspectives Series. Dr. Rogers is an internationally esteemed psychoanalyst, and she is beloved in the Seattle School community—her work, particularly A Shining Affliction, has been a compelling and pivotal part of the curriculum offered by Dr. Roy Barsness, Professor of Counseling Psychology, for 15 years.
On Saturday, November 10, The Seattle School will host Annie Rogers for “After A Shining Affliction: The Arc of Psychoanalytic Practice with Children,” an all-day lecture and case presentation in conversation with a limited audience from the Seattle School community. Dr. Rogers will revisit her early work described 23 years ago in A Shining Affliction, commenting on the trajectory of that analysis from her present point of view as a Lacanian analyst, and she will discuss the evolution of her relationship with her former analyst, Dr. Blumenfeld. She will also open the workshop to student questions and experiences of reading the book, followed by a case presentation and response in the afternoon.
Registration for this workshop also includes registration to the Friday evening lecture with Annie Rogers, a public event on November 9. The price of registration also includes 6.5 CEU’s — 1.5 seat hours for the Friday lecture, and 5 seat hours for the Saturday workshop.
Note that this workshop is reserved for current students and alumni at The Seattle School, though the general public is invited to hear from Annie Rogers on Friday, November 9, 7:00-9:00pm. In that evening lecture, Dr. Rogers will present on a child’s analysis across four years, with the last teachings of Lacan as a guiding framework as she explores the position of the analyst and the invitation to the child to discover a space for the Real in the work of play. You can learn more about the public lecture here.
