EBOR 2025 Plenary 1: The Music of Theory (and What Love's Got To Do With It)
Description
Featuring: Adam Blum, Peter Goldberg, Michael Levin
This opening plenary redefines how psychoanalysis can sound, feel, and move. In a talk that blends musical insight with clinical depth, Adam Blum traces the shared rhythms of music and analytic work — how both rely on attention, resonance, and finding a frame we can actually live inside. Moving between Freud, Laplanche, Winnicott, and the communal experience of listening, he shows how analysts shape their own “sound,” evolve their theory, and navigate what he and his co-authors call the weave: the collective, animating fabric that holds us in relation. His presentation is followed by brief commentaries from Michael Levin and Peter Goldberg. The result is something quietly luminous — a reminder that theory, like music, matters most when it moves us.
