portraits of Rana Nashashibi, Yun Pang, and Andrea Recarte

Psychoanalysis Without Borders

a panel discussion with Rana Nashashibi, Yun Pang, & Andrea Recarte; moderated by Lara Sheehi

This panel will platform three clinicians from across the globe and take up ideas of where psychoanalysis lives and is practiced, despite ideological or physical borders/barriers. The panelists will each share their own experiences and reflect on their geopolitical positionality in service of complicating and decentering normative psychoanalytic theory and praxis.

Rana Nashashibi (Palestine): “Psychotherapy in the Fight Against the Necropolitics of Israeli Colonization”
Yun Pang (India): “Decolonizing Ourselves & Our practice”
Andrea Recarte (Chile): “Estallido Social and the Politically Engaged Clinician”

This webinar will be recorded. The recording will be available to view on the CSGS YouTube channel a few days after the event.
