CONFERENCE PROGRAM

Otto Fenichel played an important role in establishing psychoanalytic group in Prague. However, his impact goes far beyond Mid-European context: Fenichel became one of the most eminent figures of the international psychoanalysis.

His wide ranging interests covered psychoanalytic theory and development of treatment technique but he also focused on overlaps of psychoanalysis and outer social reality (also topical in current Czech Republic). He coupled his psychoanalytic identity with political commitment.

First year of our conference is aimed at creating a space for psychoanalytic exploration of worries of „the strange“ and „the strangers“ in the clinical situation, but also invites experts from humanities into a dialogue and rethinking these phenomena in different contexts. Thus, we would like to continue in Fenichel's tradition of open and critical discussions of various psychoanalytic topics. Fenichel was open-minded person, he was assigned to a Freudian psychoanalytic tradition and his free approach welcomed also psychoanalysts and non-psychoanalysts who thought differently.

The announced conference is meant also to explore systematically Fenichel's complex heritage for the Czech and international psychoanalysis. It is planned to be the first meeting in Prague: we would like to dedicate our meetings to Fenichel's legacy regularly every 2-3 years.
