InForm: Michael McAndrews on psychoanalysis for people who don't know they can have it
Apr 11, 202201:46:15Tap to summarizeINTRO: On this episode of the InForm: Podcast I talk with psychoanalyst Michael McAndrews who practices out in Colorado. Michael's practice is unique for several reasons. The first is that he provides psychoanalysis to people who normally would not have the ability to afford mental health services. The second is that he provides services to people who have lost a baby, child, or pregnancy. The conversation was very informal, and hopefully very informative.

Mar 22, 202201:24:23Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Inform: Podcast I interview Why Theory's Ryan Engley about psychoanalysis in the classroom. (Tod McGowan, the other half of Why theory was interviewed about this same topic on an earlier episode of InForm.) Our conversation ranges all over the place, but one of the consistent themes is the idea of sustaining the analysand's/student's desire/curiosity. Some of our references include: Lacan's Seminar 17 T.R. Johnson's book The Other Side of Pedagogy The Pedagogy of the Oppressed The TV Show: Peep Show, and (of course) Mad Men

Transcribe →InForm: Todd McGowan & Psychoanalysis in the Classroom
Apr 27, 202101:32:00Tap to summarizeIntro: Psychoanalytic superstar Todd McGowan makes his second appearance on the InForm: Podcast. In this episode (after Neil makes an error), we talk about psychoanalysis in the classroom. Longer Show Notes: At the top of the show, you hear Neil realizing he has forgotten to hit record after we have all been talking for 25 min. But after that, you can hear Neil, Jared, and Todd discuss: How Todd started to get interested in psychoanalysis as a graduate student and the impact of reading Žizek's The Sublime Object of Ideology had on his formation as a psychoanalytic thinker and teacher. Does psychoanalysis need to be marginal in the classroom? Staying with the 99 & letting the one go. What it is like to motivate students, and one's own children... or not motivate them. Trying to teach from the discourse of the analyst. Teaching fro the discourse of the hysteric (or perhaps the obsessional). Grading practices. D&G's Anti-Oedipus as a text that might be more in line with Lacan than people think. Transference to institutions. And other stuff that I can't remember.
