FALL WORKSHOP

THE DALLAS PSYCHOANALYTIC COMMUNITY PRESENTS

Saturday October 11, 2003

Texas Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital
The Auditorium

WORKSHOP LEADER

Francis Hofstein, MD

Though the work of Jacques Lacan is less familiar in psychoanalytic circles in the U.S. than in Europe, his theories offer unique contributions to psychoanalytic thinking. Lacan sought to extend the work of Freud and, in many ways, he has done so. (It is interesting to note that beyond Lacan’s impact clinically, his effect on academicians has been very strong both here in the U.S. and around the world regarding issues such as the structure of language.) In this workshop, Francis Hofstein, MD will present some of the concepts of Lacanian theory and will discuss how these can be applied to clinical work.

Dr. Hofstein brings a richness of life experience to the consulting room due to his interesting mix of career paths: Jazz musician, journalist, and psychoanalyst. At the age of eleven he became interested in jazz, eventually channeling that interest into a stint as a jazz drummer for about ten years. He then took to writing, combined this endeavor with his passion for jazz, and eventually joined the editorial staff of Jazz Magazine in 1965. In 1967 he entered the Freudian School of Paris, formally beginning his journey into psychoanalytic theory and practice. During that time period he was analyzed by Jacques Lacan himself. He was editor of the journal L’Ordinaire du Psychanalyste from 1973 to 1978. He has continued to write on both jazz and psychoanalysis to the present day. Dr. Hofstein lives in Paris, France and maintains a psychoanalytic practice there.

This workshop will mark the first time that all five of the local psychoanalytic groups have collaborated on a project. DFP, DPS, DSPP, DSPSW, and the IPC, while unique in various ways, all have the goals of exploring and promoting psychoanalytic theory as a basis for understanding human experience, as well as using that understanding to have a positive impact on the community.

This workshop is also being made possible in part by a contribution from Harris Methodist Springwood Hospital.

This workshop is approved for 5 continuing medical education credits by UT Southwestern Medical School at Dallas. The workshop is also approved for 5 continuing education credits, category 1, by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists. Through DSPP, continuing education credits are also approved for Social Workers by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Social Workers and for LPC’s by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Licensed Professional Counselors.
