Jacques Siboni, M.D., Visiting Psychoanalyst 766 Valencia St., San Francisco New College of California Graduate School of Psychology is pleased to present: When Hatred becomes Xenopathy; The neurotic, psychotic and specific defensive functions of hate. Introduction by Dean Linda James Myers. The first phase of psychoanalysis with its incumbent hatreds and loves particularly towards the analyst is always symptomatic of the patient?s fantasm projected onto the other. It is the jouissance wrapped up in the extreme passions, particularly hate, that offers the analyst an unusual opportunity to enable patients to confront the disturbing fantasies so frequently tied up in the abject assumptions about the other. We will explore how xenopathy is related to the jouissance of the Other and we will explore how psychoanalysis can help to deconstruct the gaze in order that an intersubjective exchange can reach beyond the fragility of visual illusion. Jacques Siboni is well versed in Lacanian theory, and is a well-regarded analytic supervisor. His teaching style elucidates and clarifies how Lacanian theory works in clinical practice. Dr. Siboni lives and practices psychoanalysis in Paris. He will be available for individual consultations.
