Listening to Understand–Female Development, Perversions, and Psychoanalysis and Film: Presenter: Arlene Kramer Richards
Please join us in the opportunity to explore Arlene Kramer Richards’ breakthrough ideas about Female Development, Perversion, and Psychoanalysis and Film. Dr. Richards will engage in a lively dialogue about the process of discovery and her current thinking on these contemporary topics. We look forward to a stimulating and spirited discussion of these issues.
Arlene Kramer Richards has developed major ideas about genital sensation in the little girl and the unconscious fantasies and conflicts arising from those sensations. Her work on discovering perversion in the female psyche and her exploration of images of women in films has helped articulate contemporary thinking about women and about conflict and unconscious fantasy development for men and women.
Books will be available for purchase.
Cash or checks only
