Leon Brenner on Lacan, Language and Autism in Psychoanalysis

Language Precedes the Subject

Watch the video version here.


Dr. Leon S. Brenner is a psychoanalyst & psychoanalytical theorist. His work focuses on the integration of philosophical and linguistic frameworks in the psychoanalytic theory of subjectivity and the understanding of the relationship between culture and psychopathology. He is the co-founder of Unconscious Berlin, and his latest book on the psychoanalysis of autism is called ‘The Autistic Subject: On the Threshold of Language,’ where he presents a novel account of autistic subjectivity from a Lacanian psychoanalytic perspective. In this episode, we discuss Lacan and language, ego psychology-inspired forms of therapy (e.g. CBT, relational psychotherapy, etc.) in contrast to Lacanian psychoanalysis and scientific epistemology vs Lacanianism.
