November 10, 2023 – Jennifer Natalya Fink, PhD

Reimagining Disability on the Couch and in the Culture

Description:

Is disability a trauma? An unresolvable crisis? A melancholic state? Or is disability an identity, a potential source of pride and power? One in five people in the world are disabled; if we should live so long, we will all eventually be disabled. Disabled people constitute the world’s largest minority group. Yet disability still figures in psychoanalysis as trauma, pathology, melancholia. This workshop will use storytelling, family history, and reflection as well as new concepts emerging from disability studies and disability justice to explore what disability means for psychoanalysis. How do we encounter this core human experience on the couch, and how can we open up the richness of disability identity for ourselves and our clients? What ableist ideas do we bring to the psychoanalytic encounter–and what happens when we let them go? In this interactive presentation, we will examine how the concept of disability lineage and related concepts can help us reimagine disability for and with our clients.
