CALL FOR PAPERS 

FOR THE NLS CONGRESS 2025
 

You can now send us your clinical work!

 Deadline for submissions: Sunday, 2 March 2025

 ⚠️  The clinical cases selected will be presented in person, in Paris

 Get writing!  ✍🏼

 


The clinical parallel sessions

 

The 23rd NLS Congress will take place in Paris, on 17 and 18 May 2025. It will be held in person at the Salons de l’Aveyron. The clinical parallel sessions will take place on the afternoon of Saturday 17 May in the rooms of the salons de l'Aveyron in Paris, from 2pm to 5pm, some in English, others in French, for which there will be no translation; plus a bilingual room with simultaneous translation. Each speaker and participant chooses their language at the time of registration.

 

We are now inviting you to contribute to the work on the theme of Painful Loves by proposing a clinical intervention. This will be an opportunity to unfold a case and relate it to one of the seven clinical themes below: 

 

Passions: jealousy, sacrifice, possession, fusion, control, hainamoration

 

Giving: giving everything, giving nothing

 

Impediments: obstacles (tradition, religion…), inhibition

 

Dimensions of loss: mourning, rupture, expectation, absence, desertion, abandonment, disenchantment, exile

 

Difference of the sexes: avatars of object choice, splitting, duplicity, debasement, ravishment, ravage 

 

Fantasmatic liaisons, symptomatic liaisons

 

The downside of idealisation: blindness, disillusionment, downfall

 

Your presentation will focus on a single clinical case. It will highlight a clinic under transference. It will show the practitioner or analyst in the picture and the way in which he or she apprehends the painful affect. Remember that in analytic practice, we are led to emphasise the involvement of the signifier in the affect.

 

You will be able to draw on a conceptual reference, without this cluttering up the presentation of the case.

 

Your contribution will be read by the scientific commission (English or French) 

 

It can be sent from the 20 January 2025 to the following address:

 

Do not wait for the deadline – Sunday 2 March – to send your contribution. The time is now! 

 

In the following form:

 

 6 500 characters maximum, spaces included, written in Times New Roman font, size 12, 1.5 line spacing.

 Before submission, your text will be proofread by an English or French speaker and strictly formatted according to the above criteria.

 

 The author will propose a rather brief title. Above the text, he or she should write his or her surname, first name, e-mail address, telephone number and chosen clinical theme.

 

– The subject line of the e-mail should read as follows: 

 

Parallel Sessions NLS 2025 + NAME and first name.

 

⚠️ Please note: the call for contributions is restricted to NLS members and colleagues working within NLS Societies, Groups and Initiatives.
 
Patricia Bosquin-Caroz, for the Congress organising committee with Éric Zuliani, Monique Kusnierek, Marina Frangiadaki, Peggy Papada, Frédérique Bouvet, Philip Dravers, Eleni Koukouli, Cecilia Naranjo, Thomas Van Rumst and Natalie Wülfing.

Communiqué of the President of the NLS

It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of our colleague Ellie Ragland, member of Lacanian Compass, the New Lacanian School and the World Association of Psychoanalysis. Ellie Ragland was a pioneer of psychoanalysis in the United States, the first to invite and introduce Jacques-Alain Miller to North America. She worked tirelessly to make Lacanian psychoanalysis heard, transmitting it to many generations of students and clinicians. We offer our sincere condolences to her family and colleagues.  
Patricia Bosquin-Caroz, President 

Communiqué de la présidente de la NLS

C'est avec une grande tristesse que nous avons appris le décès de notre collègue, Ellie Ragland, membre de Lacanian Compass, de la New Lacanian School et de l'Association Mondiale de Psychanalyse. Ellie Ragland a été une pionnière de la psychanalyse aux Etats-Unis. Elle a été la première à inviter et à faire connaître Jacques-Alain Miller en Amérique du Nord. Elle a travaillé sans relâche pour faire entendre la psychanalyse lacanienne, la transmettant à de nombreuses générations d'étudiants et de cliniciens. Nous présentons nos sincères condoléances à sa famille et à ses collègues. 

Patricia Bosquin-Caroz, 
présidente 




In Memoriam: Ellie Ragland

Our dear friend and colleague, psychoanalyst, author, professor and editor, Ellie Ragland, passed on January 6, 2025 at 83 years old in Columbia, Missouri. Ragland will remain in a category of her own for the Lacanian orientation in the United States. She was a trailblazer for psychoanalysis in the New World. In 1984, she was the first to bring Jacques-Alain Miller to North America, the same year that she published her first book on Jacques Lacan, one of many to follow. In 1987 she started a newsletter in order to publish Miller in English, a project that would later become the journal (Re-)turn.

 

In an interview from 2022, Ragland recounts her first encounter with Lacan’s work, “I started reading ‘The Rome Discourse,’ and I could not stop. . . I must have spent ten hours just reading it and getting up only to grab a sandwich. That was my introduction to Lacan in 1972.” Ellie Ragland was a member of Lacanian Compass, the New Lacanian School and the World Association of Psychoanalysis. In the years to come as her legacy in the United States continues to grow, now with a life of its own, we will miss her passion for psychoanalysis, her warmth and her always free spirit. 

 

The funeral service will be held at 12:00 p.m. on Monday, January 20, 2025 at Parker-Millard Funeral Service & Crematory in Columbia, Missouri. Burial will follow at Columbia Cemetery.

Love That Does Not Hurt

Markus Zöchmeister

When the partner you are looking for is virtually found on a dating platform, this is initially not a partner of love choice but assigned by the algorithm of the machine, which acts as a guarantee for any replacement. This partner wears the colour of the machine, his loss is replaceable and therefore not a loss that makes a hole in the real.

L'amour, c'est l'angoisse !

Véronique Voruz

 

Pourquoi l’amour fait-il plus facilement dérailler les femmes ? L’angoisse, Séminaire qui réinvente la psychanalyse à partir du concept de l’objet a, apporte un éclairage alors inédit sur cette question. Lacan y met en série d’étonnantes positions féminines à l’égard du partenaire dit amoureux.

Painful Loves – Keren Ben-Hagai

We see, then, that the phase of exclusive attachment to the mother, which may be called the pre-Oedipus phase, possesses a far greater importance in women than it can have in men. Many phenomena of female sexual life which were not properly understood before can be fully explained by reference to this phase. Long ago, for instance, we noticed that many women who have chosen their husband on the model of their father, or have put him in their father’s place, nevertheless repeat towards him, in their married life, their bad relations with their mother”.

 

Freud, S., “Female Sexuality” (1931), The Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud, Volume XXI, London: Hogarth Press, 1961, p 230.
 
Freud spoke of the pre-Oedipal stage, the stage in which the mother serves as the primary love object, as a time that is very difficult to grasp in analysis as if it “had succumbed to an especially inexorable repression.”(1) Unlike phallic jouissance, which is related to the signifier, the object, a baby from the father – can we think of this “inexorable” primary repression together with feminine jouissance?(2) The “other” jouissance that Lacan positioned outside the signifier, is connected with the lack in the Other, with love, and with infinity, and therefore not supported by fantasy. Lacking phallic barriers, the daughter and mother are without limit and lost: it's no coincidence that Freud said we can find there “the germ of later paranoia in women”.(3) Analysis that has on its horizon the delimitation of feminine jouissance can serve as a boundary to the ravage towards the mother, which, according to Freud, manifests in relationships with the husband.

« Je veux vous parler d’un sujet paranoïaque.»

« Pourquoi ? Vous êtes médecin ? » 

C’est ainsi qu’a démarré, il y a plusieurs années, une séance de contrôle.

Sur le champ, cette intervention m’a laissée interloquée. Elle soulevait un piège : m’abriter derrière des catégories nosographiques, et rester sourde à la singularité du cas. Aujourd’hui encore, par moments, face au réel de la clinique, elle me revient et me garde éveillée. 

Marina Frangiadaki


“I want to talk to you about a paranoid subject.”

 “Why? Are you a doctor?”

This is how, several years ago, a session of supervision began.

I was immediately taken aback. It highlighted a trap: hiding behind nosographic categories and remaining deaf to the singularity of the case. Even today, at times, faced with the real of the clinic, I remember this and it keeps me awake.


Marina Frangiadaki

***

I bring a case about which I don’t feel I have a lot to say. She talks about the same thing all the time and I am a bit bored. I haven’t been able to get her to hear herself differently: Is there something I am not doing?  

My supervisor tells me that I am bored but she isn’t, she wants to come to see me and speak to me. That while I think she is imprisoned and I dream of opening the doors to another dimension, a lot of things are happening that I do not see. He constructs the case and tells me: "I authorise you to be bored…”, emphasising the importance of respecting the movement of this patient. 

I leave, less inclined to want things to change.


Peggy Papada



J’amène un cas sur lequel je n’ai pas l’impression d’avoir beaucoup à dire. Cette femme parle tout le temps de la même chose et… je m'ennuie un peu. Je n’ai pas réussi à la faire s’entendre différemment. Est-ce que je ne fais pas ce qu’il faut ? 

Mon contrôleur me dit que je m’ennuie, mais qu’elle ne s’ennuie pas, elle veut venir me voir et me parler. Et, pendant que je pense qu’elle est emprisonnée et que je rêve d’ouvrir les portes d’une autre dimension, il se passe beaucoup de choses que je ne vois pas. Il construit le cas à partir de cette formule qu’il m’adresse : « Je t’autorise à t’ennuyer… », et souligne l'importance de respecter le mouvement de cette patiente. 

Je m’en vais, moins encline à vouloir que cela change.


Peggy Papada
