Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities

Autumn Events

Kafka at the Borders - Between the Quick and the Dead - the first in a series of workshops presented by Gregorio Kohon.This workshop will address a number of questions related to the predicament of borderline patients. Kohon will use one of Kafka's short stories (The Burrow) to illustrate some of the subjects' existential difficulties and the clinical complexities presented by them. In psychoanalysis, the diagnosis of “borderline” is problematic. Gregorio Kohon is a psychoanalyst at the British Psycho-Analytical Society and visiting professorial fellow at Birkbeck, 2010-11.
