Group and Gang, Crowd and Mob: The Unconscious on Stage (2026)

mardi 28 juillet 2026 • Durée 48:40

Two hosts discuss the key points of a paper by Mark Kinet in the Dutch Journalof Group Dynamics and Group Psychotherapy

Why do groups sometimes become irrational? Why do workplaces suddenly descend into dependency, conflict, or panic? And why do the same unconscious patterns seemto repeat across families, organisations, politics, and psychotherapy?

Drawing on Freud, Bion, Lacan, attachment theory, neuropsychoanalysis, and contemporary clinicalthinking, Mark Kinet presents the unconscious not as a hidden place but as something that continually unfolds between people. Early relationships shape the mental code through which we later experience authority, intimacy, conflict, and belonging.

This episode explores the architecture of the unconscious, the formative influence of the primarygroup, Bion's basic assumptions, transference, projective identification, andthe unique role of psychoanalytic group therapy. Rather than viewing groups merely as collections of individuals, it shows how they become living stages on which unconscious histories are replayed, recognised, and, at times, transformed.

Pornography as a Mask for Guilt (2026)

mardi 14 juillet 2026 • Durée 19:24

Two hosts discuss the key points of Pornocracy, a paper by Mark Kinet in the Dutch ⁠⁠Journal of Psychoanalysis⁠⁠.

Pornography is usually discussed in terms of addiction, morality, or sexual liberation. Psychoanalysis asks a different question: What psychological function does pornography serve?

Drawing on Freud, Winnicott, Lacan, Michael Bader, Kernberg, and Joyce McDougall, Mark Kinet explores a paradox that challenges many common assumptions. What if pornography is not primarily about unrestrained desire, but about regulating anxiety, guilt, and concern? What if sexual fantasy is less an escape from morality than an attempt to make desire feel psychologically safe?

This episode examines pornography as a carefully constructed fantasy world in which sexuality is detached from vulnerability, intimacy, and emotional responsibility. Rather than reducing women to objects out of indifference, some fantasies may function precisely to neutralise excessive concern for the other, allowing sexual excitement to emerge without overwhelming guilt. Sexual preferences are approached not as fixed identities but as personal psychological inventions—creative solutions through which unconscious conflicts, desires, fears, and longings become organised.

This episode invites listeners to look beyond the visible content of pornography toward the invisible psychological dramas it conceals. As in dreams, the manifest image tells only part of the story. The real question is not what arouses us, but why this particular fantasy became necessary for this particular person.

Unnatural Love. Psychoanalysis on Perversion and Desire (2026)

lundi 29 juin 2026 • Durée 50:08

Two virtual hosts discuss the key points of Unnatural Love, a paper by Mark Kinet in the Dutch Journal of Psychoanalysis. He argues that psychoanalysis sees perversion not simply as a sexual deviation but as a complex way of coping with innerconflict. Freud viewed it as an expression of the child's early sexuality and as a defence against deep-seated fears of loss and vulnerability. Klein linked it to primitive anxieties and aggression, while Lacan understood it as a way ofresisting the limits and rules that make social life possible. Stollerdescribed perversion as an attempt to turn the pain of childhood trauma into asense of power and control. More recent thinkers, such as McDougall—who speaksof a self-protective form of sexuality—and Benvenuto, who highlights the lossof mutuality and genuine encounter, have further expanded this psychoanalytic perspective. Ultimately, Kinet suggests that perversion sheds light on universal human struggles with love, desire, control, and vulnerability.

Can Neuroscience Save Psychoanalysis? Critical Review of Mark Solms' The Only Cure (2026).

mardi 16 juin 2026 • Durée 44:16

Mark Solms is widely regarded as one of the leading figures in contemporary psychoanalysis and neuroscience. He is the editor of Freud’s New Standard Edition and he has played a major role in restoring psychoanalysis to scientific standing. His latest book bears a characteristically ambitious title: The Only Cure: Freud and the Neuroscience of Mental Healing.

Drawing on Mark Kinet’s critical review, two virtual hosts explore the strengths and limitations of Solms’ neuropsychoanalytic vision of psychoanalysis. The stakes are high, although—paraphrasing Freud—every advance may ultimately prove to be only half as great as it first appears.

mercredi 3 juin 2026 • Durée 52:02

Some children learn too early how to care for others—and too late how to care for themselves.
