Beyond the Couch: What Is Psychoanalysis For? (in DE)
7 November 2026 | 16:30–17:30 | Safi Faye Hall, Festival Centre, Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW)
We think we know what we’re doing and why. Psychoanalysis disagrees: we repress, defend ourselves, and repeat old patterns. Looking into the dark corners often brings us closer to reality. The live podcast “50 Minuten” takes this perspective out of the therapy room and into everyday life. More info here.
This event requires a free 3-Day Festival Centre Pass.

How Do We Bear Being Alive? (in DE)
10 November 2026 | 19:00–20:30 | International Psychoanalytic University (IPU) Berlin (Stromstr. 2, 10555 Berlin)
We push away death, loss and the question of meaning. It's what makes life possible in the first place. But what if this protection is also making us ill? Using clinical case studies, IPU professor Leonie Kampe shows how defence, shame and resistance can serve as signposts, and how psychotherapy can become a place of growth. More info here.
