Franco-Chinese Colloquium of Psychoanalysis: "The Word and Psychoanalysis"
Organized by the Sichuan University in Chengdu (People's Republic of China) and under the auspices of the Department of Psychoanalysis of the University of Paris VIII. More than two hundred people coming from all over China and France met from July 29th to 31st 2016 in Chengdu to discuss the place of the word in the analysis. This colloquium - which was organized by Huo Datong and Nathalie Charraudall – facilitated an encounter with the theory and practice of psychoanalysis through the presentation of clinical cases, theoretical papers and a very encouraging exchange dealing with working in institutions and in private practice in some cities in China and France.
The always exciting experience of presenting Mariana Otero's film "Like an Open Sky", filmed in Le Courtil (Belgium) prompted a very intense dialogue on how to work with autistic children.
Some of the participants at this conference wanted to give a testimony to Radio Lacan of how this important event proceeded and how it signals another to come - an upcoming conference about the "body and psychoanalysis". We would like to thank Fabián Fajnwaks for this great work and all those who collaborated with their testimonies.
