Clinical ecologies

[clinical ecology]      

A ‘clinical ecology’ refers to the relationship between mind, nature and society. In our times, a re-arrangement of these relationships is bound up with our own survival. 

The project aims to open up a futurity pertaining to a new ‘clinical ecology’, which puts suffering at the centre of a reconfigured social bond, and which shifts the focus from symptoms and their treatment, to creating a frame and method to rethink race, class, gender, and coloniality in the field of mental health. 

We ask what happens when we imagine an ecology that starts from the suffering, and which thinks about the suffering itself in a psychoanalytic manner.
