| Extra Info | : | Freud’s Beyond the Pleasure Principle marks one of the major turning points in the history of psychoanalysis. By introducing the second topography of the mind, Freud laid the foundation for later theories concerned with those aspects of psychic life that elude representation, symbolizatipn, and conscious thought. It was from this work that Winnicott, Bion, Green, and the Paris Psychosomatic School drew inspiration as they developed new ways of understanding psychic transformation, emotional regulation, and the realm of unrepresented experience. We warmly invite you to join Howard B. Levine as he offers his own integrative perspective on the legacy of this groundbreaking text and its significance for contemporary psychoanalytic practice. Psychoanalytic Harbour - Thinking Together Across Borders Psychoanalytic Harbour is a new bilingual international initiative inspired by Wilfred Bion’s work and contemporary psychoanalytic thinking. Founded by psychoanalysts Justyna Zalewska and Karolina Bertrand, with Agnieszka Sobolewska coordinating communications and administration, it offers an online space for sharing clinical experience, exploring ideas and developing international collaboration. We welcome psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic psychotherapists and colleagues in training from all countries, societies and psychoanalytic traditions. Through dialogue with colleagues and organisations worldwide, we hope to build lasting connections across borders. Our inaugural lecture, “Beyond the Pleasure Principle,” will be given by Howard B. Levine on 25 October 2026, 6–8 pm CET. Forthcoming guests include Franco De Masi, Thomas P. Helscher, Avner Bergstein, Rudi Vermote, Nicola Abel-Hirsch and Rodrigo Barahona. Lectures are delivered in English with Polish subtitles; discussions are interpreted between English and Polish. |
