Psychoanalytic Dialogues in Tbilisi

At this in-person only conference, you are welcome to join Endel Talvik and Igor Kadyrov for a day of two insightful papers (the titles TBA be announce). The presentations will be followed by a dialogue between the authors, leading into a substantive exchange between the speakers and members of the audience, offering a unique opportunity for shared conceptual and clinical reflection and discussion. It will provide sufficient place for questions and engaged discussion, as well as for meeting informally together.
The programme of the conference, this time with two clinical papers and discussions, which we have half-jokingly nicknamed «On the Way to an “East Loge”», will loosely follow the format of the West Lodge established more than three decades ago in West Lodge by three world-renowned Kleinian analysts - Ron Britton, John Steiner, and Michael Feldman in West Lodge on the on the edge of North London. Our idea and hope, reflected in the title of this conference and inventing at first glance a somewhat puzzling toponym ‘East Lodge’, is to start paving a path and to take some first steps along it towards a space for clinical and conceptual psychoanalytic reflection for and in the region we are used to calling, rather loosely, “Eastern Europe”.
