The Talk  

This lecture explores time, death, and the drives in psychoanalysis to propose a vivid new metaphor for the psychoanalytic cure. It takes as point of departure the ontological problems of trans identified analysands (who experience their gender issues as a life and death situation and their transition as a survival strategy.)


Dr Gherovicci will sketch a new grammar of the interaction between the “driver and the driven,” using as an analogy for psychoanalysis the role of a taxi driver who is listening while taking the analysand from one place to another. She will explain how a cure can be conducted and brought to a positive issue, the true destination for analysands living precarious lives while proposing a new way of thinking about trans embodiment and gender identity.
