Additional New Readings
This seminar will examine the language of four artists who experienced early childhood loss and pitted their words against the grave. They are Paul Celan, William Styron, Elvis Presley and Virginia Woolf. Each translated their losses into art and, for a time, pushed away the darkness. Interpretations based on classical and contemporary psychoanalytic theories will be utilized. Clinical material will be encouraged.
Dr. Melissa Wanamaker is a staff psychotherapist at Queens Consultation Center, Rego Park, NY; and lecturer and author of psychoanalytic articles on early childhood loss and creativity. She is in private practice in New York City.
