the first European festival on creativity

2011 Programme

Evento n.26

Franco Borgogno

In other people’s hearts and minds. A psychoanalyst between tradition and creativity

In a sort of imaginary interview, Franco Borgogno, one of the leading figures of contemporary psychoanalysis, offers his testimony on psychoanalytical work, with particular regard to his personal experience. Starting from the story of how he chose this profession, Borgogno investigates his motives, tells about the books, the authors and the colleagues ‘in flesh and bone’ who contributed the most to his formation, and explains his contribution to present-time psychoanalysis. In so doing, Borgogno approaches some central issues: what psychoanalysis means to him, what is the therapeutic role of psychoanalytical treatment, what he thinks about the many inconsistencies between theory and practice.
