The seminar will touch on four main aspects of psychoanalysis: 1) theory and practice, 2) desire and the drive, 3) sex and love, and 4) the sinthome and subjective destitution. The lectures will cover the key points of all the readings assigned, while the readings supplement the summary lectures by offering the student a more comprehensive engagement with these topics.
