Structure & Syncopation: Thelonious Monk as Psychoanalyst

with Jed Wilson (USA) | psychoanalyst and member of the International Institute of Psychoanalysis (IIP).

Free online event via Zoom with simultaneous translation in English, Portuguese and French (Brazilian Sign Language available upon request)

What can we learn from jazz legend Thelonious Monk about the art of psychoanalysis? A singular improvisational voice and visionary composer, Monk was a playful and subversive master of musical form. In this talk, we will explore how his unique approach to musical structure might give psychoanalysts a new notion or two about how to relate to structure in the clinic. What if Monk was actually a brilliant analyst (and topologist!) after all?
