Global Theories, Regional Deafness: Non-conscious Internalized Cultures Across Transatlantic Divides - Revisiting Donald Winnicott’s 1968 Encounter and the Ongoing Limits of Regional Psychoanalysis

Saturday, October 17, 2026 - 2:00PM - 4:00PM

Presenter: Nasir Ilahi, LLM LP

The history of psychoanalysis since Freud has been marked by fragmentation into multiple theoretical schools, often with limited dialogue across them. M. Nasir Ilahi, LLM, LP’s paper examines the deeper reasons for such failures of communication—focusing on schools that originate across transatlantic traditions, specifically the US and the UK. It proposes that these failures cannot be explained solely in terms of intellectual divergence, but must also be understood in relation to “internalized psychoanalytic cultures”—the non-conscious cultural value systems that shape the development, reception, and practice of analytic theories within a given geographical culture.
