ON THE DARK SIDE: Joseph Sandler Research Conference 2020
**CONFIRMED**

**JOIN ONLINE***


On the Dark Side — Welcome

A lifeless apathy with the proportions of immortality (Baudelaire, Spleen II, 1857) or a total downfall (Pérec, L’Homme qui dort, 1967), chronic depression plunges the sufferer into the dark side of the human psyche. Although a widespread and age-old experience, chronic depression is difficult to understand and treat.

To enlighten our enquiries in this area, we are pleased to host the 21st Sandler Conference in Lausanne. The Conference will bring together neuroscientists and psychoanalysts, researchers and clinicians to combine their perspectives on chronic depression. Once more, this conference aims to build bridges between research and clinical psychoanalysis.

It will bring together, amongst others, Dominique Scarfone (Montreal), Vittorio Gallese (Parma), Anne Brun (Lyon), Mark Solms (Cape Town), Marianne Leuzinger-Bohleber (Frankfurt), Christine Anzieu-Premmereur (New York), Jean-Claude Rolland (Lyon) and Bernard Reith (Geneva). Their presentations will be discussed and elaborated upon by local and international speakers.

In a conference open to the general public, Mr. Niklaus Manuel Güdel will develop a perspective on chronic depression through art, based on the work and life of the painter Ferdinand Hodler.

We look forward to meeting all of you for stimulating and fruitful discussions!
