Leon Brenner - The Dermic Drive

Dr. Leon S. Brenner is a philosopher and psychoanalytic theorist from Berlin. His work focuses on the integration of philosophical and linguistic frameworks in psychoanalytic theory of subjectivity and the understanding of the relationship between culture and psychopathology. He is a training analyst, studying member of the APPI and a founder of Lacanian Affinities Berlin (laLAB) and Unconscious Berlin. His latest book on the subject of 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. This week Leon joined us to discuss his ongoing work on the dermic drive, which evolved out of his work on autism stemming from his book, The Autistic Subject: On the Threshold of Language. Leon also joined us twice last year to discuss autism and the autistic rim, which are two very important components he builds on in his latest work on the skin and psychoanalysis.
