“In between the external world of interpersonal relations and the inchoate visceral and mental self we are born with, is the internal world of self and other enactments that are played out in our whole psychophysical being. These dynamic internal objects are often confused with external others who we project them onto, often reacting to our experience of others only through the internal dramas perpetuated from earliest infancy and childhood that are played out in our minds.”(Dr. Kavaler-Adler)
“I know of no occasion when Jung so much as mentions the saboteur. Sabotage is, however, a typical situation in life, and, in that respect, the saboteur is what Jung means by an archetype.” (Dr. Adams)
“ Thus, instead of seeing relationships as the result of drive discharge, tension reduction, his theory saw self-expression in the context of relational paradigms, specifically he postulated the inherent human drive is to form relationships, make connections, as the foundation of all psychic functioning…”(Dr. Schwartz)
This conference proposes to offer three profound theoretical and clinical perspectives on the collisions, collusions, and polarizations in our internal psychic world, that impede personal and communal evolution and growth. Commonalities, overlaps, and differentiating diversities of the three overarching clinical and theoretical perspectives will be discussed by our three distinguished presenters, senior training analysts, supervisors, seasoned clinicians, and authors – Drs. Michael Adams, Susan Kavaler-Adler, and Jack Schwartz, with thought-provoking introductions by our conference moderator, Dr. Jeffrey Lewis. Grounding it all in the clinical and existential moment, will be the linking theme among the three avenues of thought, – the ever complex theme of self-sabotage that affects each and every one of us each day!
