The IPA Journal Club (JC) is a project of the IPA Communications Committee. It meets 5-6 times per academic year (September-June) on Fridays at 4 PM London time for 75 minutes.
Each meeting, in webinar format, is in English and features a guest author who discusses with registrants an article or chapter they have published. The meetings are recorded and later posted online at the IPA website and on the IPA UA-cam channel for viewing by the general public.
This recording corresponds to the sixth Journal Club, featuring Anthony Bass, PhD, which was on Friday, April 12th, 2024, at 4 p.m. London time.
Registration, which is free of charge, is open to IPA members and candidates, other interested mental health professionals, scholars and academics. A downloadable copy of the paper is available to registrants. Ideally, all registrants will have read the paper beforehand and have an opportunity to ask questions or make comments to the guest author.
Paper
Bass, A. (2021). Unmasked: Personal transformations, frame alterations, and making the conscious unconscious during the traumatic times of the COVID and other plagues. Psychoanalytic Perspectives, 18:3, 347-357.
Abstract
This paper considers some of the paradoxes, challenges and opportunities we face in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic. I consider the ways in which masks serve necessary protective functions, while at the same time serving defensive roles in a different register. The ways in which “remote” work can function as an obstacle to therapeutic intimacy at the same time that it can deepen it, are considered.
