Free Clinics and a Psychoanalysis for the People: Progressive Histories, Collective Practices, Implications for our Times

FREEPSY将通过追踪免费精神分析诊所鲜为人知的历史，将精神分析作为一种进步的话语和实践产生一种新的全球形象。这个跨学科的项目利用了心理社会学研究、社会理论、历史研究和艺术方法。它询问投入精神分析的社会使命的临床医生集体如何通过重新配置时间、空间、金钱、痛苦的含义及其相互关系，在临床和机构领域以及精神健康文化中进行创新。1918年，弗洛伊德将免费诊所置于精神分析思想和实践的核心。精神分析最近的进步历史和免费诊所的当代形式的创造力仍然没有得到承认。该项目开创性地讲述了精神分析的另类激进历史。它追溯了弗洛伊德沙发的蜕变，当精神分析与解放运动和解放斗争纠缠在一起时，并与基于种族、阶级、性别、贫困和其他形式的边缘化的社会不平等相接触。FREEPSY的研究计划有四个维度。从理论上讲，FREEPSY重新思考集体创造力，阐明了一种新的“临床生态”，它影响着社会如何遭受痛苦、哀悼和变得有能力弥补。从历史上看，FREEPSY通过讲述集体和边缘历史，而不是以个人和西方为中心的历史，改变了精神分析史学中的辩论术语。在方法上，FREEPSY进行了创新，结合了(1)多地点免费诊所的心理社会人种学(在七个主要地点：布达佩斯、柏林、维也纳、伦敦、里约热内卢、S、圣保罗和布宜诺斯艾利斯)；(2)通过视觉艺术方法收集“现在的档案”；(3)建立免费诊所的实体和数字档案。在伦理上，FREEPSY在关于社会正义和关怀文化的辩论中开辟了新的天地。

FREEPSY will produce a new global figuration of psychoanalysis as a progressive discourse and practice, by tracing the little-known histories of free psychoanalytic clinics. This interdisciplinary project draws on psychosocial studies, social theory, historical research and arts methods. It asks how collectives of clinicians invested in the social mission of psychoanalysis innovate in the clinical and institutional domain, and in mental health cultures, by reconfiguring the meaning of time, space, money, suffering and their interrelations. In 1918, Freud placed the free clinic at the heart of psychoanalytic thought and practice. The recent progressive histories of psychoanalysis and the contemporary forms of creativity of the free clinics remain unacknowledged. The project breaks ground by telling an alternative radical history of psychoanalysis. It traces the metamorphoses of Freud's couch, happening when psychoanalysis becomes entangled with emancipatory movements and liberation struggles, and engages with social inequalities based on race, class, gender, poverty, and other forms of marginalization. FREEPSY's research programme has four dimensions.Theoretically, FREEPSY rethinks collective creativity, illuminating a novel kind of 'clinical ecology', which impacts how societies suffer, mourn, and become capable of reparation. Historically, FREEPSY shifts the terms of debate in the historiography of psychoanalysis, by telling collective and marginal histories, as opposed to individual and Western-centric histories. Methodologically, FREEPSY innovates by combining (1) a multi-sited psychosocial ethnography of free clinics (in seven main sites: Budapest, Berlin, Vienna, London, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Buenos Aires); (2) an 'archive of the present' assembled through visual arts methods; (3) the construction of a physical and digital archive of free clinics. Ethically, FREEPSY breaks new ground in debates on social justice and cultures of care.
