499b/ INTER-CARTEL TOWARDS ATHENS

Dear colleagues,

Since their introduction the electronic cartels have played an important role in the life of our School, as an instrument of work, of exchange of points of view in the clinical and epistemic field, and – last but not least – of the preparation of the annual Congress of the School.

Thus, we will continue the inter-cartel project this year too, following the procedure that was initiated last year.   

Before inviting you to register, allow me to remind you of the procedure:

Two ways to register for the inter-cartel:

Registration for the e-cartel project 2012-2013 is feasible by declaration of a cartel or on individual basis. 

As far as the declaration of the cartel is concerned, all that is needed is to fill in the declaration form of the cartels that you can find on the NLS website (www.amp-nls.org). You are kindly requested to send a copy to my personal e-mail too (d.andropoulou@yahoo.gr). Attention! It is necessary to specify that the cartel is « Towards Athens » in the title given to your e-mail. The deadline for registration is the 30^th of September 2012.

For those who wish to register on individual basis what they have to do is simply send me an e-mail (d.andropoulou@yahoo.gr). They will be registered on a list from which mixed cartels will emerge. The member of each cartel will be selected by means of a kind of draw. Last year’s experience has shown us that the members of the cartel registered on individual basis worked with enthusiasm and they had the opportunity to work in the vast field of the School overcoming the regional limits.

Operation of the  inter-cartels :

Like last year, each cartel has to present two cases: one in the end of October and a second one in early February. The specific dates will be communicated in due course. Two or three cartels will constitute a group. The composition of the groups will be announced before the discussion begins. The cartels of each group exchange and discuss about their case. The extime participates in this discussion via the plus-ones who transmit a synthesis of the conclusions that the members of their cartel have reached.

I hereby open, as from today, the registration for the inter-cartel project 2012-2013 in preparation for the Congress in Athens: “Psychoanalysis and the psychotic subject. From the forced invention to the belief in the symptom”.

For the commission of the cartels of the NLS
