Seminars for 2008
Clinical Seminars
Theme for 2008 - Love and Psychoanalysis
As subjectivity is formed by the residues left by the
primordial libidinal bonds in their different shapes- as
identifications, object choices, sublimation- psychoanalysis
uses in its method the development of a particular libidinal
tie: the transference. How can this new libidinal tie change
the imprints of the previous ones? That is the question for
this year's work.

Professor Sonia Alberti - Love and Entropy
Friday 21st, Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd November 2008
Treacy Conference Centre, 126 The Avenue, Parkville.
Professor Sonia Alberti will discuss the dialectical
relationship between love and entropy following Freud's
definition of the drive. Every drive is a death drive, but
libido may transform it into a life drive. This argument will
be developed over the course of the Seminar.
Sonia Alberti is a Doctor of Psychology (Université de Paris X,
Nanterre, France, 1989), was a post-doctoral fellow of the
Instituto de Psiquiatria of the Federal University of Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil (2004) and is Analyst Member of the School of
Psychoanalysis of the Lacanian Field. She is currently
Professor at the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro,
senior investigator at the Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa in
Brazil and coordinates the Residency in Psychology at the
university hospital. She is the editor of a number of books,
including Esse sujeito adolescentre; O crepusculo da alma:
a psicologia no Brasil no século XIX; and O
adolescente e o Outro, and has published several
articles.
