Presents Malignant Passionate Attachments: Unbearable Separations
Presenter: Graciela Abelin-Sas Rose, Visiting Scholar
Sunday, June 12, 2016 from 5:30 – 7:00 PM
NPAP, 40 WEST 13 STREET, # 216, (Between 5th and 6th Avenues), Handicap accessible facility
This presentation, by an illuminating, internationally known psychoanalyst, encapsulates a foray into love, passion, and its blind alleys. How does passion become lethal and stifling, so that attachment dominates the psyche and fatally entraps it? At such times, separation and growth are no longer attainable and self-disintegration occurs. What psychoanalytic understanding can unlock such misery? The presenter postulates that “retrieving the original pathogenic experience, translating it into a narrative form liberates patients from their frozen passionate relationships.” Clinical material will elucidate the theory.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: After attending the presentation participants will be able to:
· Describe how therapy addresses patients with lethal attachments to love and passion.
· Identify how self-disintegration occurs for patients with such strong attachment needs for love and passion.
