The family is the privileged place where the Discontent in Civilization is expressed.
Katty Langelez-Stevens points this out in her excellent argument for the PIPOL 12 Congress.
As a symbolic institution, the evolution of the family today is marked by a decline in the role and function of the father. The Oedipus complex no longer fulfills its dual role – the establishment of prohibition and the ideal.
As a result, families are faced with a host of challenges. In response, new modes of functioning are invented. Our congress will examine this pluralization of family configurations.
Family and its Discontents is a theme that concerns us all in our various professions: analysts, psychologists, educators, facilitators, therapists, nurses, doctors, teacher, lawyers, etc.
Today, we launch this call for contributions for the simultaneous sessions that will take place on Saturday. They will be primarily clinical.
To inspire you in writing your text, we suggest you take a look at the different themes of the blog.

In addition, you'll find a wealth of valuable references in the conference bibliography.
