This Meeting is Chaired by the Candidates of the AIP
Dr. Arlene Kramer Richards:
BEAUTY AND THE IDEAL
The platonic ideal of beauty is hypothesized to correspond to the inherent preference for an image infants are attracted to soon after birth. Dr. Richards will discuss how the importance of such an image is not only that it provides a bridge for attachment that promotes the infant’s chances for survival, but also that it remains throughout development, is changed in significance as the infant becomes a toddler, the toddler an oedipal child, a latency child, adolescent and finally, an adult. In her presentation, Arlene will share two examples that illustrate how this concept can affect clinical work.
