Grounded in Saketopoulou’s (2022, 2023) psychoanalytic summons to reconsider our relationship to trauma in theory and practice, Brett will consider generative possibilities of thinking psychosis with critical discourses in queer and crip theory. By allowing our habituated notions to be unsettled by attention to the margins and inviting clinicians to “inhabit unease” (Amin 2017), this presentation explores the benefit of living into several tensions: between the self-making and destructive potentials of psychotic experience, between the idealization of what marginal experience offers and the agony of abjection from within and without, and between the world as it is and the world as it could be.
