​PINK FREUD: PODCAST@ Psychoanaliterature
Interviews on psychoanalysis, literature, and all that lies in between
Episode Notes
The innovative psychoanalyst and thinker, Patricia Gherovici, takes us through her work on transgender psychoanalysis, tracing its roots to the Argentinian Lacanian tradition (2:01) and to “pink Freud” (6:06). She brazenly criticizes psychoanalysis’ reception in the US as a profit-oriented business (4:13), and the view of transgender transformation as a consumeristic choice (22:53), insisting instead that gender change is a question of life and death (20:58). Want to hear more about trans memoire (23:55), psychoanalytic sexology (12:38), and our bodies of multitude? As Gherovici asks, “indulge me with your listening.”

ENJOY YOUR CASTRATION This episode previously appeared as a premium patrons-only episode. Part 2 - 'Enjoy Your Castration' - remains exclusive to subscribers on Patreon.com/ThePopularPod.

Freudian psychoanalysis has a reputation as both an elite indulgence and as sexually normative and prescriptive. So what could it have to offer either trans people today or the poor immigrant residents of America's barrios? Argentine psychoanalyst Patricia Gherovici specialises in working with trans patients, as well bringing the perspective of South American "psychoanalysis for the people", which holds the exploration of the unconscious as a radically democratic act. In the first part of a two-part interview, David and James discuss how psychoanalysis can break us out of liberal platitudes in today's debates on trans.

Fashion Culture | Fashion Victims: Dressing Up the Death Drive


​If looks can kill, who is the victim in fashion? Scholars Patricia Gherovici and Jamieson Webster engage in psychoanalytic readings of fashion. They analyze fashion impulses from the phallic charm of Gucci to the suicide of Alexander McQueen, from the invention of new fads to fashion as art or creation as understood in the Lacanian notion of sinthome.

EL PSICOANALISIS EN TIEMPOS DEL CORONAVIRUS

www.facebook.com/yoicaAP/videos/535092023712086/

“La propagación global de la pandemia nos fuerza a examinar la relación entre dos campos supuestamente antinómicos, pero ambos abordados por el psicoanálisis. Por un lado, la realidad biológica del cuerpo y sus frágiles fronteras frente a la invasión de un organismo al filo entre la vida y la muerte. Por el otro, la tormenta afectiva que la crisis desató: nuestras reacciones que oscilaron del pánico al aburrimiento, de la desesperación a la indiferencia, con una pregunta insistente: ¿es esto real?
El psicoanálisis opera sobre los ecos del lenguaje en el cuerpo. Pero la verdad es que no sabemos con certeza lo que es un cuerpo o cuál sea la eficacidad del lenguaje. En esta encrucijada es donde radica mi práctica clínica: hay quienes cuestionan qué es ser una mujer o un hombre y su supervivencia en un cuerpo mortal y sexuado les resulta precaria. De las estrategias para superar esa precariedad deriva mi trabajo con analizantes trans que nos proponen nuevas fronteras del cuerpo. Con pacientes histéricos del ghetto hispano, el mismo problema insiste: cuerpos afectados por la historia, síntomas individuales que funcionan como una alegoría de una situación social, síntomas que hablan a través del cuerpo, un cuerpo infectado por el virus del lenguaje.”

New Books in Psychology
Interview with Eugenio Duarte

Psychoanalysis is transitioning. Its history of pathologizing deviant sexuality is giving way to curiosity about the universal complexities and contradictions inherent in sex and gender. Yet it could use some pushing along, and Patricia Gherovici’s new book, Transgender Psychoanalysis: A Lacanian Perspective on Sexual Difference (Routledge, 2017), does just that. In it, she draws inspiration and courage from her clinical work with transgender patients in order to challenge long-standing essentialist notions about sex and gender. She also introduces readers to Jacque Lacan’s still-revolutionary ethics on sexual difference. In our interview, we talk about her involvement in the recent wave of attention to transgender experience, how she applies Lacan’s ideas to her own clinical work, and the importance of putting further pressure on psychoanalysis and Western society, at large to let go of antiquated, discriminatory notions and embrace the infinite complexity in all human sexuality.

PSYCHOANALYSIS IN EL BARRIO

The film features the experience of Latinx psychoanalysts in the United States bringing psychoanalysis to Latinx communities,  with interviews with ten Latinx analysts (whose heritage is from a variety of Latinx cultures) as well as students. It uniquely shows some of those communities in Philadelphia, New York City, and Texas and Interviews Latinxs in the street on their thoughts about therapy. And it discusses issues of culture, bias, language and transference that occur for Latino analysts and their patients. The video challenges psychoanalysts to understand the culture and economic circumstances of Latinxs in the United States and to bring psychoanalytically informed therapy to them. ​
Psychoanalysis in El Barrio, winner of the PEP 2015 Video Grant, is a film that challenges the not-uncommon notion that Hispanic patients affected by poverty can only benefit from therapies that rely on very concrete interventions. The documentary features: Carlos Padrón (Venezuela); Christopher Christian (Puerto Rico); Daniel Jose Gaztambide (Puerto Rico); David Ramirez (Mexico); Ernesto Mujica (Cuba); Maria de Lourdes Mattei (Puerto Rico), Patricia Gherovici (Argentina); Rafael Art. Javier (Santo Domingo); Ricardo Ainslie (Mexico). The film was made possible by a generous grant from Psychoanalytic Electronic Publishing (PEP) with the support of the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research (IPTAR).

​A poor brain is as worthy as a rich brain: psychotherapy faces a privilege problem
THE GUARDIAN  June, 2016

"
Patricia Gherovici, an Argentina-trained psychoanalyst who practiced in the north Philadelphia barrio, serving a mostly low-income Puerto Rican community, says that deeply entrenched within her field is the idea that some brains – low-income, less-educated brains – are “unanalysable”.
“It is nonsense and it is prejudice,” Gherovici adds.
“When people say that psychoanalysis is not the right practice, because [those living in poverty] have real problems to be dealt with with real means, to me it is very insulting. It is like saying that poor people do not have an unconscious.
“There are certain human elements that we can think of outside of class boundaries. The existence of an unconscious is definitely one of them,” Gherovici says.

LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS
 
Vol. 38 No. 9 · 5 May 2016
pages 3-13 | 14380 words



"Feminists have always had to confront the violence they expose, and – in exposing – provoke, but when a transsexual person is involved, the gap between progressive moment and crushing payback seems even shorter. County exposes the myth, one of liberalism’s most potent, that knowing – finding oneself face to face with something or someone outside one’s usual frame of reference – is the first step on the path to understanding. What distinguishes the transsexual woman or man, the psychoanalyst Patricia Gherovici writes in Please Select Your Gender, her study of transsexual patients, is that ‘the almost infinite distance between one face and the other will be crossed by one single person’. Perhaps this is the real scandal. Not crossing the line of gender – although that is scandal enough – but blurring psychic boundaries, placing in such intimate proximity parts of the mind which non-trans people have the luxury of believing they can safely keep apart."
