As our societal institutions are ever-more focused on supplying a quick fix to complex population-wide issues, psychoanalysis is poised to offer a contextualizing, humanizing, social justice-oriented perspective that attends to the nuances of these issues. These institutions employ a myopic perspective focused on symptoms rather than root causes, championing quantification to address issues of the human subject, and ultimately resulting in a reductionistic position. Multiple settings face different versions of this issue: in schools, the child is addressed only for their behaviors with little consideration for the underlying causes; in psychiatric hospitals, patients are overmedicated to be made more tolerable by caretakers, dehumanized by the treatment for their responses to trauma; even in day-to-day life, the social media feeds that structure our ever-expanding digital world reflect an existence of surface-level and reactionary engagement. Of interest to this roundtable is stimulating a discussion on the enormity of these pervasive systematic issues between the graduate students and early practitioners that represent the beginning scholars of the field and its established presences. As such, this panel will encourage an interdisciplinary discussion of the present topic with a focus on personal generationally-informed perspectives on these issues that, by their very nature, evolve with current cultural shifts and technological advancements. What is it that connects our thinking, that which we have mutually identified as broken in the way that we approach the needs of humanity? What are the world events, milestones, and cultural shifts that distinguish how we approach these issues as analysts and, first and foremost, as humans? These questions will structure the discussion around the implications of neoliberalism in practice and general living, and how inter- and trans-generational connections can aid in addressing, identifying, and resisting the predominant power structures of oppression.
