ICLO-NLS Open Event: Film Screening & Debate

The ICLO-NLS Special Interest Group (SIG) Child & Adolescent Lacanian Psychoanalysis

invites you to the Irish Premiere of the film

Like an Open Sky by Mariana Otero


The event is open to all: practitioners, educators, carers and anyone with an interest in questioning one’s understanding of and responses to subjectivity. This film is crucial viewing for those who work with children and adolescents, within institutions, hospitals and other clinical and educational settings.The documentary bears witness to the unique work carried out by the practitioners and young residents of Le Courtil in Belgium and demonstrates how a treatment is invented which responds to the singularity of each. The screening will be followed by a Q & A session with Marie Brémond and Bruno de Halleux, practitioners with the Courtil for many years, who will share their experience with us.
