PROGRAM
Jane S. Hall
Loss in Childhood
Using the movie The Maid along with disguised clinical material,
this paper explores the deadening effect of an impoverished
childhood, showing that in adulthood, love can repair loss.
Theodore J. Jacobs
Love, Loss, and the Uses of Memory
The paper examines the current controversy over the uses of memory in analysis. Literary and clinical examples illustrate the key role played by memory in working through traumatic experiences of loss and thwarted love.
Theresa Aiello
Strange Elegy: Beauty, Illusion and Meaning
A change or surprise in narrative is discovered in children’s use of aesthetic terms in the aftermath of 9/11. The author reflects on illusion, and the sense of beauty as precious and a sustaining function throughout the life cycle.
Gilbert Cole
Cliché and the Demands of Thinking: Approaching the terms “love,” “loss,” and “meaningful life”
The conference’s title evoked a process of ‘interpretive enactment’ in the presenter, who will offer his reflections on how expanding the domain of the meaningful, and with it the sense of living a meaningful life, might be inhibited.
Moderator – Samoan Barish, PhD, DSW
Each presentation will be followed by dialogue with the panelists and audience.
