Danielle Knafo: ALONE TOGETHER: SOLITUDE AND RELATEDNESS IN LIFE AND ANALYSIS
Dr. Knafo will present two cases that appear very different, even nearly opposed, and yet have underlying similarities. The first involves a married, successful woman who could not tolerate being alone. The second is about a reclusive young man who could not endure being with others. Yet, each case speaks deeply about the existential and psychological difficulty embodied in flight from a historical rupture that could not be processed or symbolized. The case narrations show how the levels of concealment embodied in the first case of defensive relationship and the second case of defensive solitude provide hints and clues to liberation.
