/530/ Urgent and Immediate and Impossible ft. Christie Offenbacher & Ricky Levitt
Ricky Levitt, a New York psychoanalytic researcher, and Christie Offenbacher, a practicing psychoanalyst and SVA faculty member, discuss the so-called social turn in psychoanalysis. They debate whether attempts to fix broad social problems through therapy are immediate, urgent, or overreaching. They question professional limits, political claims, and how psychoanalytic concepts get translated into social cure-all claims.
