(between 101st and 102nd St) New York – Manhattan September 19 – 20, 2014 present ( English / French) in English Colloquium On the Subject of Psychiatry and the Subject of Psychoanalysis Magritte, La Reproduction interdite, 1937 Since the 1980’s, there has been a notable shift of focus in psychiatry toward neuroscience and biology. The result has been an upsurge in psychiatric conceptualizations of psychopathology based solely on material transformation, be it chemical, genetic, or neurological. By taking this approach, “biological” psychiatry has become increasingly estranged from the social sciences. From a psychoanalytic or humanistic perspective, this means that psychiatry has turned away from precisely what gives specificity to the human being as the subject of language.
