Hi everyone!
The initial
idea of our project was getting pictures of the praxis rooms of SFU psychoanalysts. We wanted
to investigate the connection between the book “Behandlungs(t)räume” by Matejek
and Lempa where the pictorial metaphors for major psychoanalytic schools were
presented and interior of SFU analysts professional spaces.
We approached
5 therapists asking them for the permission to make pictures of their praxis.
At this moment surprise started…
Although
some of them agreed without any questions, with some we had interesting
discussion. They were concerned where the pictures would be posted and who would
have an access to them. We proposed to make it anonymous; it wasn’t persuasive enough
for them.
That made
us think- what do they defend? (If not themselves for being exposed to vague
unknown public) What is the real meaning of praxis room for psychoanalyst? How
much is the psychoanalyst personality there in nonverbal communication?

Hi!
ReplyDeleteI think, this was a great idea...another interesting one - maybe also for a research-project in the future could be to ask therapists from different kind of methods - including children therapists. But it does not seem to be so easy to get some pictures...and this also makes me think about the reasons...
