The Irish Circle of the Lacanian Orientation New Lacanian School Returning to Freud IV: "The Neurotic Invented the Father" Reading Seminar “Returning to Freud (IV)", organised by ICLO-NLS, entitled “The Neurotic Invented the Father”, and conducted by Rik Loose and Joanne Conway.

Freud’s interest in – and admiration for – religion is well known. He nevertheless did not develop psychoanalysis in the direction of a religious interpretation of the Father but rather concluded that the latter is an invention of the neurotic. Each seminar will focus on an aspect of the two major works Freud devoted to religion: Future of an Illusion and Moses and Monotheism. The three seminars will be based on a close reading, include an exploration of the aspect (that each seminar will focus on) within the context of his work and investigate its relevance for clinical practice. This space is addressed to anybody with an interest in psychoanalytic thinking.
